Printer driver question

Hi all

What data structures must i use in order to:

  • change the port from “LPT1” to “FILE”?
  • change the default “.prn” extension to a custom extension?
  • Define a custom directory as defaultdirectory to store the file?

Thanks

Do you want to programmatically change the port from LPT1 to FILE? Why can’t you just install the printer on the FILE port? In any case, the PRINTER_INFO_x structures contain the portname in the pPortName member. Refer to the SDK documentation for more info on this.

If you are printing to a file port, you can provide any filename along with the path you want. It doesn’t have to be .prn.
