AddPrinter
The AddPrinter function adds a printer to the list of supported printers for a specified
server.
HANDLE AddPrinter(
LPTSTR pName,
| // pointer to server name
| DWORD Level,
| // printer info. structure level
| LPBYTE pPrinter
| // pointer to structure
| );
|
|
Parameters
pName
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the server on
which the printer's print processor should be installed. If this string is NULL,
the print processor is installed locally.
Level
Specifies the version of the structure to which pPrinter points. This value must be 2.
pPrinter
Pointer to a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure that contains information about the printer. You must specify
non-NULL values for the pPrinterName, pPortName, pDriverName, and pPrintProcessor members of this structure before calling AddPrinter.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle to a new printer
object.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
The following list identifies the members of the PRINTER_INFO_2 structure that can be set before the AddPrinter function is called.
Attributes
| pPrintProcessor
| DefaultPriority
| Priority
| pComment
| pSecurityDescriptor
| pDatatype
| pSepFile
| pDevMode
| pShareName
| pLocation
| StartTime
| pParameters
| UntilTime
|
The Status, cJobs, and AveragePPM members of the PRINTER_INFO_2 structure are reserved for use by the GetPrinter function. They must not be set before calling AddPrinter.
If pSecurityDescriptor is NULL, the system assigns a default security descriptor to the printer.
After an application creates a printer object with the AddPrinter function, it must use the PrinterProperties function to specify the correct settings for the printer driver associated
with the printer object.
The AddPrinter function returns an error if a printer object with the same name already
exists, unless that object is marked as pending deletion. In that case, the
existing printer will not be deleted, and the AddPrinter creation parameters will be used to change the existing printer settings (as
if the application had used the SetPrinter function).
Windows NT:The caller of the AddPrinter function must have SERVER_ACCESS_ADMINISTER access to the server on which the
printer is to be created. The handle returned by the function will have
PRINTER_ALL_ACCESS permission, and can be used to perform administrative operations
on the printer.
Windows 95: This access validation is not supported in Windows 95.
Use the EnumPrintProcessors function to enumerate the set of print processors installed on a server. Use
the EnumPrintProcessorDatatypes function to enumerate the set of datatypes that a print processor supports.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
