Control Printer Queue On Windows 2000/XP

[binarystar]

Hi folks,

I am writing a script to print a few thousand pdf documents and I need
to have some control over the number of jobs that are sent to the
printer queue at time ... something along the lines of

if number_jobs > MAX_JOBS:
    time.sleep(10)
else:
    #Print More Files


I have been investigating the win32print utility
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePython/2.4/pywin32/win32print.html

... but can not see how to get print queue information eg the number of
jobs pending .. atleast my attempts are failing

any ideas??

thx in advance
