L_PrnClntStartup

#include "LtprinterClient.h"

L_LTPRINTERCLIENT_API L_BOOL EXT_FUNCTION L_PrnClntStartup(pszPrinterName, pbtInitialData, dwLenght, ppUserData)

L_TCHAR * pszPrinterName;	printer name
L_UCHAR * pbtInitialData;	printer initialization data
L_ULONG dwLenght;	length of initialization data
L_VOID ** ppUserData;	pointer to additional parameters

Callback function to be fired by the printer driver as a job is being initialized.

Parameter	Description
pszPrinterName	Character string that contains the printer name.
pbtInitialData	Pointer to a byte array that holds the initialization data set in the server machine.
dwLenght	Size of the initialization data in the pbtInitialData.
ppUserData	Void pointer that you can set to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function(s) needs.

Returns

TRUE	The job will be continued.
FALSE	The job will be cancelled.

Comments

The L_PrnClntStartup callback function will be fired from the printer driver; which will call this function with the pbtInitialData that contains a byte array that holds the initialization data specified for this printer.

If user sets the value of ppUserData, the value of ppUserData will be received in the other callback functions.

The user must implement this function in the user demo DLL.

This function should be exported in the DLL module definition (def) file.
