The DriverInit function initializes the library for use with an already installed printer. DriverInit cannot install a new printer and will fail if the specified printer does not already exist. To install a new printer please see the PDFDriverInit.
System.Int32 DriverInit(System.String PrinterName)
HANDLE DriverInit(LPCSTR szPrinter)
HANDLE DriverInitW(LPCWSTR szPrinter)
PrinterName, szPrinter
Name of the printer as it shows in the printers control panel. Only for the DLL, It should be an Ansi string for DriverInit or a Unicode string for DriverInitW.
ActiveX: If the function succeeds, the return value is 0. If the function fails, it throws an exception that should be trapped; there is no return value in this case.
DLL: If the function succeeds, the return value is an internal handle to the printer. The handle is used in most other functions of CDINTF. If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastErrorMsg.
This function will only fail if the printer does not exist. There are otherwise no known instances where the function will fail.
The DriverInit returns a HANDLE which is 32-bits with the 32-bit version of CDINTF and 64-bit otherwise. This handle cannot be converted to a 32-bit integer.
The hPrinter handle returned by this function is not to be confused with the hPrinter handle returned by the Windows API OpenPrinter and CreatePrinter functions.
Member of CDIntfEx.CDIntfEx.
