I hope I can explain this so it makes sense.
I have a wrapper for Windows printer API calls
1 will select a printer.
2 will allow you to change settings like the paper cartridge. On Win2k, xp and 2003, this screen also has a button to
change the printer that is missing on Vista and Win7. Why did they do that??
This means clients with Vista and Win7 must select the printer before going to the screen to change the settings. I
don't do this often enough to be aware of the difference (or care), but we just got the 20th (my guess) user complaint
calling to ask what happened and they want me to put the printer selection back.
I used to do things like that 30 years ago when I programmed in assembler, but that is water under the bridge for me
and I am not going back there.
Anyone know of any other printer api call documentation somewhere that I can experiment with?
