A server control clients printing
-
Hi everybody! I'm trying to develop a server, using C#, on which are connected a printer and clients. Whenever a client want to print a document, the server must recognize him to verify some permissions before continuing to printing. Could anyone tell me when the client click on "print", the server will know about that (will he receive that request as the printer's driver is installed only there) ? or he have to check the Queue of the printer to know the creator of every process ? Thank you in advance! houssem.dellai@ieee.org

If the user starts the print-action from, say, his browser, then the local computer will display a list of all available printers. If the printer is in the network, and the local computer has the correct drivers, it'll be able to print to there. Permissions are granted over the Active Directory. Printing is not an action that "raises an event". You could add code that instructs the server to print something on behalf of the user.
