Check If Print has been done successfully

Question

I am developing windowform application in c#.

In my app, i have written below code to get all image from local machine and print it.

  files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\temp", "*.jpeg");

        foreach (var i in files)
        {
            var objPrintDoc = new PrintDocument();
            objPrintDoc.PrintPage += (obj, eve) =>
            {
                System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(i);
                Point loc = new Point(100, 100);
                eve.Graphics.DrawImage(img, loc);
            };
            objPrintDoc.Print();
        }

Now i want to check if that print has been done successfully or not and then i want to delete temp folder which i have created manually to store images.

I have tried below code, but it didn't work for me.

        PrintServer myPrintServer;                    
        PrintQueueCollection myPrintQueues = myPrintServer.GetPrintQueues();
        String printQueueNames = "My Print Queues:\n\n";
        foreach (PrintQueue pq in myPrintQueues)
        {
            printQueueNames += "\t" + pq.Name + "\n";
        }

Solution

Here is a msdn description for PrintSystemJobInfo.JobStatus

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.printing.printsystemjobinfo.jobstatus(v=vs.110).aspx

I tried the following code and saw print status.

 private void brnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var files = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Folder", "*.jpg");

            foreach (var i in files)
            {
                var objPrintDoc = new PrintDocument();
                objPrintDoc.PrintPage += (obj, eve) =>
                    {
                        Image img = Image.FromFile(i);
                        Point loc = new Point(100, 100);
                        eve.Graphics.DrawImage(img, loc);
                    };

                objPrintDoc.Print();
                PrintServer myPrintServer = new PrintServer(@"\\ComputerName");
                PrintQueueCollection myPrintQueues = myPrintServer.GetPrintQueues();                   
                try
                {
                    foreach (PrintQueue pq in myPrintQueues)
                    {
                        pq.Refresh();
                        PrintJobInfoCollection pCollection = pq.GetPrintJobInfoCollection();
                        foreach (PrintSystemJobInfo job in pCollection)
                        {
                            listBox1.Items.Add(pq.Name);
                            SpotTroubleUsingJobAttributes(job);
                        }

                    }
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {

but it didn't work for me -- how does it not work?

If you didn't get any exceptions from your code then you can safely assume that the printer spooler got the job and is responsible to get it to the printer. Checking the print queue is not reliable. There are good odds that you'll never see the job because it was dispatched quickly. Nor is there any point in helping, the user already gets a notification from the spooler if there was any problem getting the document printed.
