Hmmm... This is really interesting. As much as I praise the Windows 2000 workstation edition, I'm still new to the Win2k (Active Directory, etc.) scheme of things. Personally, I find it very unstable. However, since you're using Win32::OLE to get the server information, there could be some pretty code down the line. I'd still like to use Win32::API (since it's backwards compatible with 95/98, which some of our workstations still run) to write a module (since one hasn't been written, or, at least, none of us know about it). I'm assuming that the code you're writting will be closed source. I've always been a personal fan of OSS and if I do get an opportunity to write a GOOD module for Win32 printer monitoring, I'd definitely be releasing the code under GPL (and if you do make your code closed, I hope it sells well, cause it's awful clever of you to use ASDI, something which is completely foreign to me). One thing that I wanted to ask however, which DLL contains the printer and spooling functions that are described in SDK? Microsoft says its in the SDK, but I'm pretty sure the DLL has to be local since the Spooler service can monitor the ports.
