DRIVER_INFO_3 structure

The DRIVER_INFO_3 structure contains printer driver information.

Syntax

typedef struct _DRIVER_INFO_3 {
  DWORD  cVersion;
  LPTSTR pName;
  LPTSTR pEnvironment;
  LPTSTR pDriverPath;
  LPTSTR pDataFile;
  LPTSTR pConfigFile;
  LPTSTR pHelpFile;
  LPTSTR pDependentFiles;
  LPTSTR pMonitorName;
  LPTSTR pDefaultDataType;
} DRIVER_INFO_3, *PDRIVER_INFO_3;

Members

cVersion

The operating system version for which the driver was written. The supported values are 3 and 4, which represent the V3 and V4 drivers, respectively.

pName

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the driver (for example, "QMS 810").

pEnvironment

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the environment for which the driver was written (for example, Windows x86, Windows IA64, and Windows x64).

pDriverPath

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a file name or full path and file name for the file that contains the device driver (for example, "C:\DRIVERS\Pscript.dll").

pDataFile

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a file name or a full path and file name for the file that contains driver data (for example, "C:\DRIVERS\Qms810.ppd").

pConfigFile

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a file name or a full path and file name for the device driver's configuration dynamic-link library (for example, "C:\DRIVERS\Pscrptui.dll").

pHelpFile

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a file name or a full path and file name for the device driver's help file.

pDependentFiles

A pointer to a MultiSZ buffer that contains a sequence of null-terminated strings. Each null-terminated string in the buffer contains the name of a file the driver depends on. The sequence of strings is terminated by an empty, zero-length string. If pDependentFiles is not NULL and does not contain any file names, it will point to a buffer that contains two empty strings.

pMonitorName

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a language monitor (for example, "PJL monitor"). This member can be NULL and should be specified only for printers capable of bidirectional communication.

pDefaultDataType

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the default data type of the print job (for example, "EMF").
