Retrieves data for the specified printer.

hPrinter

Identifies the printer for which data is requested.

dwLevel

Specifies the version of the structure to which lpbPrinter points. This value must be 1, 2, or 3.

lpbPrinter

Points to an array of bytes that receives a PRINTER_INFO_1, PRINTER_INFO_2, or PRINTER_INFO_3 structure.

cbBuf

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the array to which lpbPrinter points.

lpdwNeeded

Points to a value that specifies the number of bytes copied if the function succeeds or the number of bytes required if cbBuf was too small.
