Members

pServerName

Points to a null-terminated string identifying the server that controls the printer. If this string is NULL, the printer is controlled locally.

pPrinterName

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the printer.

pShareName

Points to a null-terminated string that identifies the sharepoint for the printer. (This string is used only if the PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_SHARED constant was set for the Attributes member.)

pPortName

Points to a null-terminated string that identifies the port(s) used to transmit data to the printer. If a printer is connected to more than one port, the names of each port must be separated by commas (for example, "LPT1:,LPT2:,LPT3:").

pDriverName

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the printer driver.

pComment

Points to a null-terminated string that provides a brief description of the printer.

pLocation

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the physical location of the printer (for example, "Bldg. 38, Room 1164").

pDevMode

Points to a DEVMODE structure that defines default printer data such as the paper orientation and the resolution.

pSepFile

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the file used to create the separator page. This page is used to separate print jobs sent to the printer.

pPrintProcessor

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the print processor used by the printer.

pDatatype

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the data type used to record the print job.

pParameters

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the default print-processor parameters.

pSecurityDescriptor

Points to a SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR structure for the printer. This member may be NULL.

Attributes

Specifies the printer attributes. This member can be one of the following values:

PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_DEFAULT
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECT
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_DO_COMPLETE_FIRST
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_ENABLE_BIDI (Windows 95 only)
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_ENABLE_DEVQ
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_KEEPPRINTEDJOBS
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_QUEUED
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_SHARED
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_WORK_OFFLINE (Windows 95 only)

Priority

Specifies a priority value that the spooler uses to route print jobs.

DefaultPriority

Specifies the default priority value assigned to each print job.

StartTime

Specifies the earliest time at which the printer will print a job. This value is expressed as minutes elapsed since 12:00 A.M. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

UntilTime

Specifies the latest time at which the printer will print a job. This value is expressed as minutes elapsed since 12:00 A.M. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

Status

Specifies the printer status. This member can be one of the following values:

Windows NT:

PRINTER_STATUS_PAUSED
PRINTER_STATUS_PENDING_DELETION

Windows 95:

PRINTER_STATUS_BUSY
PRINTER_STATUS_DOOR_OPEN
PRINTER_STATUS_ERROR
PRINTER_STATUS_INITIALIZING
PRINTER_STATUS_IO_ACTIVE
PRINTER_STATUS_MANUAL_FEED
PRINTER_STATUS_NO_TONER
PRINTER_STATUS_NOT_AVAILABLE
PRINTER_STATUS_OFFLINE
PRINTER_STATUS_OUT_OF_MEMORY
PRINTER_STATUS_OUTPUT_BIN_FULL
PRINTER_STATUS_PAGE_PUNT
PRINTER_STATUS_PAPER_JAM
PRINTER_STATUS_PAPER_OUT
PRINTER_STATUS_PAPER_PROBLEM
PRINTER_STATUS_PAUSED
PRINTER_STATUS_PENDING_DELETION
PRINTER_STATUS_PRINTING
PRINTER_STATUS_PROCESSING
PRINTER_STATUS_TONER_LOW
PRINTER_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE
PRINTER_STATUS_USER_INTERVENTION
PRINTER_STATUS_WAITING
PRINTER_STATUS_WARMING_UP

cJobs

Specifies the number of print jobs that have been queued for the printer.

AveragePPM

Specifies the average number of pages per minute that have been printed on the printer.

Remarks

Windows 95: The PRINTER_STATUS_PAGE_PUNT value specifies that the page is being "punted" (that is, not printed) because it is too complex for the printer to print.
