BUG: SetPrinter() with Level 5 Fails to Change Port (232447)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
This article was previously published under Q232447 SYMPTOMS
The SetPrinter() API can be used to change/query a printer's settings. The settings that are available vary depending on the level of the call. It is possible to change/query the port name for a printer using levels 2 and 5. However, on Win9x, when trying to change the port on a printer using SetPrinter() with level 5 , the port is not changed even though no errors are detected.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, call SetPrinter() with level 2 and a properly populated PRINTER_INFO_2.
