<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53315433/why-do-i-get-error-1804-from-win32print-setjob>
so maybe it is a bug I should report here.
I try to change a job name in Win32 spooler using Python 3.6 and
win32print on Windows 10. [And I tell the spooler to save all my print
jobs, so there are a bunch in there.]
Here is the code I'm using. Note that the variables js and rename are
the control variables if you need to tweak this to run in your
environment. js contains a substring of an existing document name, and
the idea is that the document name of the first matching spool job
having a document name containing that fragment will be changed to the
content of the rename variable by the code.
import sys, os
import time
import win32print
#####################################
def print_job_lister( js='' ):
"""
Finds a job whose name contains the passed substring.
"""
res = None
for p in win32print.EnumPrinters( win32print.PRINTER_ENUM_LOCAL,
None, 1 ):
flags, desc, name, comment = p
showprinter = True
phandle = win32print.OpenPrinter( name )
print_jobs = win32print.EnumJobs( phandle, 0, -1, 1 )
for job in print_jobs:
document = job["pDocument"]
if js in document:
if showprinter:
print( f'printer => {name}')
showprinter = False
print( f' Document => {document}')
print( f' JobId => {job["JobId"]} Status =>
{job["Status"]}'
f' Pages => {job["TotalPages"]}')
if not res:
res = ( name, job["JobId"])
win32print.ClosePrinter( phandle )
return res
#####################################
if __name__ == '__main__':
js = '20181114'
rename = 'foobar'
res = print_job_lister( js )
print( res )
if res:
phandle = win32print.OpenPrinter( res[ 0 ])
jobinfo = win32print.GetJob( phandle, res[ 1 ], 1 )
jobinfo['Position'] = win32print.JOB_POSITION_UNSPECIFIED
if rename:
jobinfo['pDocument'] = rename
print( f'abc {win32print.JOB_POSITION_UNSPECIFIED} {jobinfo}')
win32print.SetJob( phandle, res[ 1 ], 1, jobinfo, 0 )
win32print.ClosePrinter( phandle )
Here is the error I'm getting:
{'JobId': 27, 'pPrinterName': 'HL6180dw', 'pMachineName': '\\\\STEPHEN',
