If you are running your program under NT or 95, there's a set of APIs that
do exactly what you want. Start with this group of four:
EnumPrinters() will tell you what printers are available.
GetPrinter() will tell you about each printer's state.
EnumJobs() will tell you what jobs are queued.
GetJob() will tell you about each job.
If you want to do this from a Win3.x client though, I dunno.
