3.1.4.9.5 RpcAbortPrinter (Opnum 21)

RpcAbortPrinter aborts the currently spooling print document.

DWORD RpcAbortPrinter(
  [in] PRINTER_HANDLE hPrinter
);

hPrinter: A handle to a printer object or port object that was opened by RpcAddPrinter (section 3.1.4.2.3), RpcAddPrinterEx (section 3.1.4.2.15), RpcOpenPrinter (section 3.1.4.2.2), or RpcOpenPrinterEx (section 3.1.4.2.14).

Return Values: This method MUST return zero (ERROR_SUCCESS) to indicate successful completion or a nonzero Windows error code to indicate failure, as specified in [MS-ERREF].

Upon receiving this message, the server MUST validate parameters as follows:

• Perform the validation steps that are specified in PRINTER_HANDLE Parameters (section 3.1.4.1.11). This method SHOULD assume that the handle to the printer or port object can be used without further access checks.

• Verify that a job has been associated with hPrinter by using RpcStartDocPrinter, and if that verification fails, return ERROR_SPL_NO_STARTDOC, as specified in [MS-ERREF].

If parameter validation fails, the server MUST fail the operation immediately and return a nonzero error response to the client. Otherwise, the server MUST process the message and compose a response to the client as follows:

• The current job is aborted. If it is in spool stage, spooling MUST stop. If it is in printing stage, printing MUST stop.

• Modify the job object to indicate that the job has been aborted.

• Delete the spool file, if one exists.

• Delete the job object.

• Modify the list of jobs to exclude this deleted job.

• Return the status of the operation.
