Function name : GetPrinterDriverDirectory

Group: Printing and Print Spooler - Library: winspool.drv

The GetPrinterDriverDirectory function retrieves the path of the printer-driver directory.

Code examples:

Retrieving the path of the printer-driver directory and printer-processor directory

Declaration:

BOOL GetPrinterDriverDirectory(
  LPTSTR pName,             // server name
  LPTSTR pEnvironment,      // environment name
  DWORD Level,              // information level
  LPBYTE pDriverDirectory,  // path buffer
  DWORD cbBuf,              // size of path buffer
  LPDWORD pcbNeeded         // bytes received or required
);

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER GetPrinterDriverDirectory IN winspool.drv;
	STRING    pName,;
	STRING    pEnvir,;
	INTEGER   Lvl,;
	STRING  @ pDriverDir,;
	LONG      cbBuf,;
	LONG    @ pcbNeeded

Parameters:

pName [in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the server on which the printer driver resides.

pEnvironment [in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the environment (for example, "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT R4000", "Windows NT Alpha_AXP", or "Windows 4.0").

Level [in] Specifies the structure level. This value must be 1.

pDriverDirectory [out] Pointer to a buffer that receives the path.

cbBuf [in] Specifies the size of the buffer to which pDriverDirectory points.

pcbNeeded [out] Pointer to a value that specifies the number of bytes copied if the function succeeds, or the number of bytes required if cbBuf is too small.

Return value:

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.
