ResetPrinter

The ResetPrinter function lets an application specify the data type and device mode values that are used for printing documents submitted by the StartDocPrinter function. These values can be overridden by using the SetJob function once document printing has started.

BOOL ResetPrinter(
  HANDLE hPrinter,  // printer handle
  LPPRINTER_DEFAULTS pDefault 
                    // address of printer defaults structure
);
 

Parameters

hPrinter

Handle to a printer.

pDefault

Pointer to a PRINTER_DEFAULTS structure.

The ResetPrinter function ignores the DesiredAccess member of the PRINTER_DEFAULTS structure. Set that member to zero.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
