DeletePrintProvidor

The DeletePrintProvidor function removes a local printer provider added by the AddPrintProvidor function.

BOOL DeletePrintProvidor(
  LPTSTR pName,               // reserved, must be NULL
  LPTSTR pEnvironment,        // pointer to environment string
  LPTSTR pPrintProvidorName   // pointer to provider name
);
 

Parameters

pName

Reserved; must be NULL.

pEnvironment

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the environment from which the provider is to be removed (for example, "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT R4000", "Windows NT Alpha_AXP", or "Windows 4.0"). If this parameter is NULL, the provider is removed from the current environment of the calling application and client machine (not of the destination application and print server). NULL is the recommended value because it provides maximum portability.

pPrintProvidorName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the provider to be removed.

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.
