Well, I can’t say I *know* this will work, because I have never written
a unidrv plugin.
But, for ImageProcessing,
The PDEVOBJ parameter (pdevobj) points to a _DEVOBJ structure.
The _DEVOBJ structure contains a member, pPublicDM, which points to a
devmode.
If the dmCopies field does not contain the same value the user entered
in the UI, it will probably be easier to find out why not and fix that
than to try to find the information some other way.

Hello Scott,
Ideally I would like to get this information in the rendering DLL code.
We are doing most of the processing work in ImageProcessing. It would be
ideal to get the data here.
We started with the 2003 DDK, but had some compatibility issues with our
test setup; so we went back to the 2K DDK.
Could you please provide some details as to how we could get the
dmCopies in the ImageProcessing function?

Well, you don’t say where you need this information (in the UI DLL, in
the rendering DLL?), but surely, somewhere you can find a pointer to a
devmode? When you do, dmCopies is the field you need.

p.s. newer DDKs are much better

Subject: [ntdev] ### UniDrv Printer Driver and The Number of Copies
Hello Folks,
We are working on a printer driver and have hit a slight snag.
Everything is working fine, but we are writing a driver for a 3 head
printer. We need to know how many copies the user is requesting that the
application produces on the printer.
We found this function “DrvQueryJobAttributes” that looks like it does
exactly what we want; that is finds out what the application is
configuring the print job for.
Unfortunately, we can’t find a place to fit it/hook-it/etc in the
driver. We have based the driver on the unidrv examples. We are using
DDK2000 and the OS targets are W2k and Wxp.
Can anyone please provide an example/guide on how to use this attributes
function; or just a way to get the number of copies that the print job
is supposed to be.
*Thanks*
