Hello. i am interested in how those print control program work and i wanna make a simple one just for fun and execise if it's possible.

what i have in mind is just a simple application to count the number of pages sent to the printer.

i searched google for info, but i can only found pages that sell these kind of program, not real information regarding its implementation. can anyone point me at the right direction so i know where i should start?

Well, to create an app that counts how many pages your going to print out seems fun and exciting thing to do. However, to make such application you should try to use, scanner(not a scanner but the tool called scanner in java) and have basic knowledge about java.IO streaming. I could work on a program for you, very small one, since I don't really have time :( So I will make an object and the application to show how to read streaming things and so. So stay tuned !
