The WNetOpenJob function initializes a print job for transmission across the net. It copies a file handle to the buffer indicated by the pfh parameter, which Print Manager can use to write to the spool file.
szQueue
Points to a null-terminated string specifying either a redirected local device or a fully qualified network name of a print queue.
szJobTitle
Points to a null-terminated string specifying the job title. If the szJobTitle parameter is NULL, the driver may use any appropriate default.
nCopies
Specifies the number of copies to print.
pfh
Points to a variable that receives the file handle for the job.
The return value is one of the following values.
| Value | Meaning |
| WN_BAD_POINTER | Invalid pointer. |
| WN_BAD_QUEUE | The szQueue parameter is not a valid net queue or redirected device. |
| WN_CANT_SET_COPIES | Warning, printing one copy. |
| WN_NET_ERROR | Network error. |
| WN_NOT_SUPPORTED | Function not supported. |
| WN_OUT_OF_MEMORY | Out of memory. |
| WN_SUCCESS | Success. |
The export ordinal for this function is 1.
On some networks, open print jobs will automatically be closed and printed after some time-out period. It is the responsibility of the driver to make sure that the network does not pause on open print jobs, even if the application is inactive for long periods of time.
