Overview

The PrintTicket Test (PTTest2) is used to exercise the unmanaged PrintTicket and PrintCapabilties APIs that are part of Windows Vista.

PrintSpy is enabled for this test. For more information, please go to PrintSpy.

Details

You can use this test to test:

  • A driver's implementation of the PrintTicket/PrintCapabilties COM callable interface: IPrintTicketProvider.

  • A driver plugin's implementation of the PrintTicket or PrintCapabilties COM callable interface: IPrintOEMPrintTicketProvider.

  • A legacy driver's PrintTicket or PrintCapabilties shim layer. You can test the PrintTicket and PrintCapablities API calls for legacy printers that do not support the IPrintTicketProvider interface.

Running PrintTicket Test (PTTest2)

If you have the WDKTestSuite at the command line, the test tool will sequentially run the test cases that are mentioned in the TestSuite.xml file. For the WDKTestSuite, the test cases include calling all of the native PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities APIs sequentially with valid input parameters and expect a valid output.

Cautions

Any attempt to change the system default printer while the test is running might lead to inconsistent results.
