BOOL DrvUpgradePrinter(
| DWORD Level, | |
| LPBYTE pDriverUpgradeInfo | |
| ); |
DrvUpgradePrinter upgrades a printer’s registry device settings.
Parameters
Level
Specifies the version number of the structure to which pDriverUpgradeInfo points. Currently this value is always 1.
pDriverUpgradeInfo
Pointer to a DRIVER_UPGRADE_INFO_1 structure containing the information required by the driver to perform the upgrade.
Return Value
If DrvUpgradePrinter is successful, the return value is TRUE. Otherwise, DrvUpgradePrinter sets a last-error code and returns FALSE.
Comments
The spooler calls DrvUpgradePrinter for every printer when a new printer driver is copied onto the system. This occurs when a system is upgraded from one operating system release to the next, or when a user updates a printer driver by calling the Win32 AddPrinterDriver function. DrvUpgradePrinter should update the registry with the new device settings for the specified printer.
