The AddMonitor function installs a local printer monitor and links the configuration, data, and monitor files.
BOOL AddMonitor(
LPTSTR pName, // pointer to server name
DWORD Level, // monitor info. structure level
LPBYTE pMonitors // pointer to monitor info. structure
);
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Before an application calls the AddMonitor function, all files required by the monitor must be copied to the SYSTEM32 directory.
An application can determine which printer monitors are currently installed by calling the EnumMonitors function.
A monitor added by AddMonitor may be removed by calling DeleteMonitor.
