DeletePrinter
The DeletePrinter function deletes the specified printer object.
BOOL DeletePrinter(
HANDLE hPrinter
| // handle to printer object
| );
|
|
Parameters
hPrinter
Identifies a printer object that will be deleted.
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.
Remarks
The printer handle hPrinter is obtained by calling the OpenPrinter or AddPrinter function. Most users will use OpenPrinter.
If there are print jobs remaining to be processed for the specified printer, DeletePrinter marks the printer for pending deletion, and then deletes it when all the
print jobs have been printed. No print jobs can be added to a printer that is
marked for pending deletion.
A printer marked for pending deletion cannot be held, but its print jobs can
be held, resumed, and restarted. If the printer is held and there are jobs for
the printer, DeletePrinter fails with an InvalidState error.
