>We are running a vfp com object to generate labels on a W2003 server. The server also has Citrix running. On this server we have Seagull printer drivers that are printing towards Zebra printers.
>
>Almost daily the prints come out up side down. The only way to fix this is to restart the print spooler on the server.
>To get this problem under control I want to do the following on an hourly basis:
>- check if any print queue has any print jobs (not only label printer queue's are present on the server, also to normal printers)
>- if not, restart the print spooler
>
>The first I know how to do. The second, however, is something I need help on. What is the easiest way to do this (vbs, dotnet, vfp)?
