Hi yall !
We've been doing some research on the Windoze's Print drivers and found a GDI call that allows us
to pull the actual Bins from the printer driver.
In all my search of the .h files I could not find the function # to call from within Comet, nor do
I know if the Win calls are filtered by Bryan's code.
The function is DeviceCapabilities it uses the DevMode structure and the Printer_Info_2 structure
and the DC_ declaratives (DC_BINS is function 6).
I also found a little piece of VB that scan all printer drivers and list the Bins. It is
confirmed, Win98 and WinXP uses different bin numbers for the Xerox N32 printer...
If you'd like to see that little VB program just say so and I'll gladly send the source to you
(kind of short) and the 4 lines of instruction to make it.
Have a Nice Day
Robert
