Re: [Dev-C++] OpenPrinter()

[Jason H. <jas...@bt...>]

As a quick guess, you will probably have to query the system for the printer's name. It may be named
differently to what you have? There is probably a query that will give you some way of identifying
the default printer also. Check the Win32 API documentation.

HELP please!!!
I am using OpenPrinter() in Windows. The first parameter I'm stuck on. It's
meant to be a pointer to a string that specifies the printer's name.
I have for this
const char Laserjet4000[] = "HP LaserJet 4000 Series PS";

I've typecast this pointer so it compiles, but the OpenPrinter function
still fails!!!


if(!OpenPrinter((LPTSTR)Laserjet4000, &hPrinter, NULL))
{
//error code
}
