PrintJobFailed,printJobCompleted,printJobCanceled events are not triggering

Question

Hi,
In my application we are printing some data. For that we are adding PrintStatusTracker listner class which impliments PrintJobListener to DocPrintJob.
Now the problem is... after print is given i am getting only 2 events triggered in PrintJobListener i.,e printDataTransferCompleted, printJobNoMoreEvents even though it is failed to print. But other events like printJobFailed, printJobCompleted, printJobCanceled are not at all triggering.
Please help me in this.
Thanks
