NOTE: To use the sample, you must install the Active Directory Service Interfaces
from your MSDN CD or from the following Web site:

  http://www.microsoft.com/backoffice/downloads.htm

ADSI is a COM-based interface for accessing directory services. Each element of
the network (that is, users, printers, and computers), can be treated as an
object.

To use the ADSIPrintjob form, run ADSIPrnt.exe to extract the form files. Run the
form from within Visual FoxPro by typing the following in the command window:

     DO FORM ADSIPrintjob

Enter a domain name and a server name where you want to look for print queues. A
domain name is not required, but omitting the domain name will increase the time
of the search. Once the server is found and the list box is populated, you can
select a print queue from the list. You can use the Queue Control buttons to
pause, resume, or purge the print queue.

Once you select a queue, the print jobs in that queue are listed in the second
list box. When you select a print job, you can use the Job Control buttons to
pause, resume, or delete a print job. The More Info button displays additional
information about the print job.
