[MS-PAR] method |
Description |
Corresponding [MS-RPRN] method |
|---|---|---|
|
Retrieves a handle to a specified printer or print server. A client uses this method to obtain a print handle to an existing printer on a remote machine. Opnum 0 |
||
|
Installs a printer on the print server. Opnum 1 |
||
|
Deletes the specified printer object. The client MUST call RpcAsyncClosePrinter (section 3.1.4.1.10) with the same printer handle after calling this method. Opnum 7 |
||
|
Sets the state of a specified printer, optionally by performing an action to change the state. Opnum 8 |
||
|
Retrieves information about a specified printer. Opnum 9 |
||
|
Retrieves printer data from a specified printer or print server. Opnum 16 |
||
|
Retrieves configuration data for the specified printer or print server. Opnum 17 |
||
|
Sets the configuration data for a printer or print server. Opnum 18 |
||
|
Sets the configuration data for a printer or print server. Opnum 19 |
||
|
RpcAsyncClosePrinter |
Closes a handle to a printer, server, job or port object that was opened by calling RpcAsyncOpenPrinter (section 3.1.4.1.1) or RpcAsyncAddPrinter (section 3.1.4.1.2). Opnum 20 |
|
|
Enumerates configuration data for a specified printer. Opnum 27 |
||
|
Enumerates all value names and data for a specified printer and key. Opnum 28 |
||
|
Enumerates the subkeys of a specified key for a specified printer. Opnum 29 |
||
|
Deletes a specified value from the configuration of a specified printer. Opnum 30 |
||
|
Deletes a specified value from the configuration data of a specified printer, which consists of a set of named and typed values stored in a hierarchy of registry keys. Opnum 31 |
||
|
Deletes a specified key and all of its subkeys from the configuration of a specified printer. Opnum 32 |
||
|
Sends and receives bidirectional data. This method is used to communicate with print monitors that support such data. Opnum 34 |
||
|
Creates an information context on a specified printer. Opnum 35 |
||
|
Queries fonts for printer connections. Opnum 36 |
||
|
Deletes a printer information context. Opnum 37 |
||
|
Enumerates available local printers, printers on a specified print server, printers in a specified domain, or print providers. Opnum 38 |
||
|
Persistently saves the configuration information for a connection, including the print server name and the name of the print provider for a specified connection. Opnum 55 |
||
|
Deletes the stored connection configuration information that corresponds to the pPrinterName parameter value. Opnum 56 |
||
|
Enumerates each of the per-machine connections into a specified buffer. Opnum 57 |
||
|
Resets the data type and device mode values to use for printing documents submitted by RpcAsyncStartDocPrinter method (section 3.1.4.8.1). Opnum 69 |
