how to count number of pages printed? java

Question

I want to create a program in java which counts the number of prints taken from a printer...What I was trying to do is, When i give a print command through an application such as MS word, my printer starts a particular process...

Is there a method to recognize when that process is initiated?... (provided i am currently running the Java program).. so that i can just increment a counter whenever that print process is initiated, and hence i might be able to keep a track of pages printed.

yes.. Obviously I tried, but just I find the way to count the pages when I print through my java program and want to track all the printed activities — masterk63, Dec 15 '14 at 00:23

You can write a infinitely running thread and monitor for the process you are looking for, and increment the counter when you see it.

Refer this question to get the code to monitor active process.
