GetPrinterDriverDirectory info  Overview  Group

The GetPrinterDriverDirectory function retrieves the path of the printer-driver directory.

BOOL GetPrinterDriverDirectory(

    LPTSTR pName,

// address of server name

    LPTSTR pEnvironment,

// address of environment

    DWORD Level,

// address of structure

    LPBYTE pDriverDirectory,

// address of structure array that receives path

    DWORD cbBuf,

// size, in bytes, of array

    LPDWORD pcbNeeded 

// address of variable with number of bytes retrieved (or required)

   );

Parameters

pName
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the server on which the printer driver resides. If this parameter is NULL, the local driver-directory path is retrieved.
pEnvironment
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the environment. For example, “Windows NT x86” specifies Windows NT running on an Intel 80386 or 80486 processor. If this parameter is NULL, the current environment of the calling application and client machine (not of the destination application and print server) is used.
Level
Specifies the structure level. This value must be 1.
pDriverDirectory
Points to an array of bytes that receives the path.
cbBuf
Specifies the size of the array to which pDriverDirectory points.
pcbNeeded
Points to a value that specifies the number of bytes copied if the function succeeds, or the number of bytes required if cbBuf is too small.

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.
