Syntax

typedef struct _PRINTER_INFO_5 {

} PRINTER_INFO_5, *PPRINTER_INFO_5;

Members

pPrinterName

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

pPortName

A pointer 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:").

Attributes

The printer attributes. This member can be any reasonable combination of the following values.

Value	Meaning
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECT	Job is sent directly to the printer (it is not spooled).
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_DO_COMPLETE_FIRST	If set and printer is set for print-while-spooling, any jobs that have completed spooling are scheduled to print before jobs that have not completed spooling.
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_ENABLE_DEVQ	If set, DevQueryPrint is called. DevQueryPrint may fail if the document and printer setups do not match. Setting this flag causes mismatched documents to be held in the queue.

PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_LOCAL	Printer is a local printer.
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_NETWORK	Printer is a network printer connection.
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_PUBLISHED	Indicates whether the printer is published in the directory service.
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_QUEUED	If set, the printer spools and starts printing after the last page is spooled. If not set and PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECT is not set, the printer spools and prints while spooling.
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_RAW_ONLY	Indicates that only raw data type print jobs can be spooled.
PRINTER_ATTRIBUTE_SHARED	Printer is shared.

In Windows XP and later versions of Windows, the following value can also be used.
