Winword StartDoc problem.

NTDEV

Hi ,

I am working on a printer driver.

Looks like Winword calls StartDoc many a times. Is

there any way to stop it ? Or to know that it is for the same

job by any chance ?

thanks & regards,

The best thing to do is just to deal with it :-). Word is not going to
change, your driver is going to have to adapt to Word.

Word calls EnablePDEV multiple times as well, how come you’re not
complaining about that?

Anyway, using word 2003, the second time startdoc is called, jobid==0
and job name==NULL, and it’s a different pdev than the first time. I
don’t know if that is enough information to determine if it’s word
calling startdoc a second time, or some other condition.

Whatever you’re doing in StartDoc that is having problems, do it
somewhere else (StartPage?).

MessageThanks Robins.

We authenticate user name and password by communicating with Server
and then printing each job ( Secure job printing ) . This should be in StartDoc,
if i put it in StartPage it will try to validate userinfo on each page which is
not advisable.

I will try to check jobid and job name. Thanks.

thanks & regards,
