Remarks

The WSD Print Service can inform a client about changes to the printer's status through PrinterStatusSummaryEvent, PrinterStatusConditionEvent, and PrinterStatusConditionClearedEvent events.

A client can directly query the printer's state by calling the GetPrinterElementsRequest operation.

The following syntax block shows that you must also prefix the names of the child elements with the appropriate namespace (in this case wprt), to be certain that your name references apply to child elements in the correct namespace.

<wprt:PrinterStatus>
 <wprt:PrinterCurrentTime> data </wprt:PrinterCurrentTime>
 <wprt:PrinterState> data </wprt:PrinterState>
  ...
 <wprt:QueuedJobCount> data </wprt:QueuedJobCount>
  ...
</wprt:PrinterStatus>
