Batch Script - Query Filenames From Server Printer

Question

• Client: Windows XP
• Print Server: Ubuntu via CUPS

Is there a way to query the printer queue on the server from a client to retrieve the name of the file being printed?

Code example would be something like:

FOR /F "tokens=* USEBACKQ" %%F IN (`COMMAND TO QUERY PRINT JOBS ^| FIND "FILENAME"`) DO (
SET var=%%F
)
IF NOT DEFINED var (
ECHO Print Job Does Not Exist
) ELSE (
ECHO Print Job Completed
)

Answer 1

I totally forgot to update this =D.

My solution ended up being querying the local print queue on the workstation.

CSCRIPT "C:\WINDOWS\system32\PRNJOBS.vbs" -l ^| FIND /I "printed file"

Running that queries the local print jobs with their file names, then I search for the file in the output to see if it successfully made it to the print queue. This is the closest that I could come to my solution and it has been working thusfar.
