IPrintCoreUI2::QuerySimulationSupport method (prcomoem.h)

The IPrintCoreUI2::QuerySimulationSupport method retrieves a spooler simulation capability structure, which indicates the kinds of simulation the spooler supports.

Syntax

HRESULT QuerySimulationSupport(
  [in]  HANDLE hPrinter,
  [in]  DWORD  dwLevel,
  [out] PBYTE  pCaps,
  [in]  DWORD  cbSize,
  [out] PDWORD pcbNeeded
);

Parameters

[in] hPrinter

Specifies a handle to the printer.

[in] dwLevel

Specifies the spooler simulation capability structure returned in the buffer pointed to by pCaps. Currently, only level 1 of spooler simulation support is provided.

Value Spooler Simulation Support Structure
1

SIMULATE_CAPS_1 (defined in printoem.h)

[out] pCaps

Pointer to the output buffer, which contains a structure of the type indicated by the value in the dwLevel parameter.

[in] cbSize

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the output buffer, which is pointed to by pCaps.

[out] pcbNeeded

Specifies the size, in bytes, of the memory needed to store a structure of the type indicated by dwLevel.

Return value

The method must return one of the following values.

Return code Description
S_OK
The method succeeded.
E_OUTOFMEMORY
The value in cbSize was smaller than the number of bytes to be written to the output buffer (the buffer pointed to by pCaps).

The method was called with pCaps set to NULL.

E_NOTIMPL
The method is not supported.

A structure of the type specified by dwLevel is not supported.

E_FAIL
The method failed

Remarks

This method is supported only for Windows XP Pscript5 plug-ins, not for Unidrv plug-ins.

The IPrintCoreUI2::QuerySimulationSupport method stores a spooler simulation capability structure in the buffer pointed to by pCaps. This structure specifies the level of spooler support for "N-up" printing, reverse printing, the maximum number of pages that can be printed, collation, and others.
