Total pages printed on python and winspool.drv

0

Recently I had copied this code (Thanks CristiFati):

Python- How to communicate with printer

While its working on its own, I can't figure out how can I get total page counting to work, I added it to DEFAULT_FIELDS var and to NotifyData method, without luck as follow:

def NotifyData(self):
    if self.Type == JOB_NOTIFY_TYPE:
        if self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PRINTER_NAME:
            return 'job_printer_name', self._data_as_string
        if self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_MACHINE_NAME:
            return 'job_machine_name', self._data_as_string
        if self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_USER_NAME:
            return 'job_user_name', self._data_as_string
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_STATUS:
            return 'job_status', self._NotifyData.adwData[0]
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_DOCUMENT:
            return 'job_document', self._data_as_string
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PRIORITY:
            return 'job_priority', self._NotifyData.adwData[0]
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_POSITION:
            return 'job_position', self._NotifyData.adwData[0]
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_SUBMITTED:
            return 'job_submitted', self._data_as_datetime
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PAGES_PRINTED:
            return 'job_pages_printed', self._NotifyData.adwData[0]
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_BYTES_PRINTED:
            return 'job_bytes_printed', self._NotifyData.adwData[0]
        elif self.Field == JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_TOTAL_PAGES:
            return 'job_total_pages', self._NotifyData.adwData[0]

In field names added a new element:

DEFAULT_FIELDS = (
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PRINTER_NAME,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_STATUS,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_DOCUMENT,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PRIORITY,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_POSITION,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_SUBMITTED,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_PAGES_PRINTED,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_BYTES_PRINTED,
JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_TOTAL_PAGES)

And got this output.

Type Ctrl+C to exit
[00000021] job_printer_name: Microsoft XPS Document Writer
[00000021] job_status: 0x00000008 (SPOOLING)
[00000021] job_document: Sin título: Bloc de notas
[00000021] job_priority: 1
[00000021] job_position: 1
[00000021] job_submitted: 2018-03-07 19:07:11.546000
[00000021] job_total_pages: 0 <---- **This field**
[00000021] job_pages_printed: 0
[00000021] job_bytes_printed: 0

I don´t know exactly which value should I take as self._NotifyData.adwData[0] send the value but I'm not sure which index I need to pick to retrieve JOB_NOTIFY_FIELD_TOTAL_PAGES:.

it's kind of advanced to understand by my own, may I get a hand here please?
