IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace method (prcomoem.h)

The IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace method queries the device for its default namespace uniform resource identifier (URI).

Syntax

HRESULT QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace(
  [out] OUT BSTR *pbstrNamespaceUri
);

Parameters

[out] pbstrNamespaceUri

A pointer to a BSTR that receives the namespace URI. The plug-in places the namespace URI in the buffer that is pointed to by pbstrNamespaceUri. IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace is responsible for allocating the string by means of a call to SysAllocString (described in the Microsoft Windows SDK documentation), but the caller is responsible for freeing the string.

Return value

IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace should return one of the following values.

Remarks

The plug-in should specify the name of the private namespace URI that the core driver should use to handle any features that are defined in the GPD file or PPD file that the core driver does not recognize. The plug-in might specify a set of namespaces as a result of the call to the IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::BindPrinter method. The purpose of the IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace is to inform the core driver about which of these namespaces is to be used as the default namespace. The core driver associates all of the features that it does not recognize with this default namespace, and places any such features in the print ticket.

When IPrintOemPrintTicketProvider::QueryDeviceDefaultNamespace returns, the core driver is responsible for adding the private namespace URI that the plug-in has specified (in *pbstrNamespaceUri) to the root node of the DOM document. The core driver also must define a prefix for the private namespace that the plug-in should use when the plug-in adds a new node to the print ticket under the plug-in's private namespace. The plug-in should not define its own prefix for this default private namespace URI.
