Remarks

The Association must be established successfully before any of the print management operations can be performed.

This method will first try to connect to the Print SCP. If successful, it will then try to establish the Association. This method will not return until the Association is accpeted/rejected by the Print SCP, or an error occurs.

The method GetAssociateRejectInformation can be used to get information about the Association rejection in case the Association request was rejected by the Print SCP.

The supportedClasses parameter specifies those SOP/Meta SOP Classes that are supported by the Print SCU itself. Once the Association is established, the method IsClassSupported can be used to test whether a particular SOP/Meta SOP Class is supported on the Association (and hence by the Print SCP).

The established Association can be released using the method Release. It can also be aborted using the method Abort.
