Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte mit einem Programm vorhandene Drucker umbenennen (also zum Beispiel: "HP LaserJet 4050" -> "Laser".

Weiß jemand, wie es am einfachsten geht?

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es auch mit Delphifunktionen geht, deshalb habe ich es mal hier gepostet.

Vielen Dank im Voraus,
Uwe

Hmm,

einfach geht es wohl nicht. Habe folgendes gefunden (MFC C++). Kriege ich in Delphi aber nicht gebacken...

S. Rajagopalan hat folgendes geschrieben:

void CRenamePrinterDlg::OnRenamePrinter() { HANDLE hPrinter = NULL; DWORD dwNeeded = 0; PRINTER_INFO_2 *pi2 = NULL; DEVMODE *pDevMode = NULL; PRINTER_DEFAULTS pd; BOOL bFlag; LONG lFlag; // Open printer handle (on Windows NT, you need full-access because you // will eventually use SetPrinter)... LPTSTR pPrinterName = "LASER-Printer" ; ZeroMemory(&pd, sizeof(pd)); pd.DesiredAccess = PRINTER_ALL_ACCESS; bFlag = OpenPrinter(pPrinterName, &hPrinter, &pd); if (!bFlag || (hPrinter == NULL)) return ; // The first GetPrinter tells you how big the buffer should be in // order to hold all of PRINTER_INFO_2. Note that this should fail with // ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER. If GetPrinter fails for any other reason // or dwNeeded isn't set for some reason, then there is a problem... SetLastError(0); bFlag = GetPrinter(hPrinter, 2, 0, 0, &dwNeeded); if ((!bFlag) && (GetLastError() != ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) || (dwNeeded == 0)) { ClosePrinter(hPrinter); return ; } // Allocate enough space for PRINTER_INFO_2... pi2 = (PRINTER_INFO_2 *)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwNeeded); if (pi2 == NULL) { ClosePrinter(hPrinter); return ; } // The second GetPrinter fills in all the current settings, so all you // need to do is modify what you're interested in... bFlag = GetPrinter(hPrinter, 2, (LPBYTE)pi2, dwNeeded, &dwNeeded); CString bval ; bval.Format(" GetPrinter: %d",bFlag) ; AfxMessageBox(bval) ; if (!bFlag) { GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); return ; } // If GetPrinter didn't fill in the DEVMODE, try to get it by calling // DocumentProperties... if (pi2->pDevMode == NULL) { dwNeeded = DocumentProperties(NULL, hPrinter, pPrinterName, NULL, NULL, 0); if (dwNeeded <= 0) { GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); return ; } pDevMode = (DEVMODE *)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, dwNeeded); if (pDevMode == NULL) { GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); return ; } lFlag = DocumentProperties(NULL, hPrinter, pPrinterName, pDevMode, NULL, DM_OUT_BUFFER); if (lFlag != IDOK || pDevMode == NULL) { GlobalFree(pDevMode); GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); return ; } pi2->pDevMode = pDevMode; } // Driver is reporting that it doesn't support this change... if (!(pi2->pDevMode->dmFields & DM_ORIENTATION)) { GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); if (pDevMode) GlobalFree(pDevMode); return ; } // Specify exactly what we are attempting to change... /*pi2->pDevMode->dmFields = DM_ORIENTATION; pi2->pDevMode->dmOrientation = dmOrientation;*/ //CTS_SR LPTSTR lpPrinterName = "Hi! I am the new printer" ; pi2->pPrinterName = lpPrinterName ; // Do not attempt to set security descriptor... pi2->pSecurityDescriptor = NULL; // Make sure the driver-dependent part of devmode is updated... lFlag = DocumentProperties(NULL, hPrinter, pPrinterName, pi2->pDevMode, pi2->pDevMode, DM_IN_BUFFER | DM_OUT_BUFFER); if (lFlag != IDOK) { GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); if (pDevMode) GlobalFree(pDevMode); return ; } // Update printer information... bFlag = SetPrinter(hPrinter, 2, (LPBYTE)pi2, 0); if (!bFlag) // The driver doesn't support, or it is unable to make the change... { GlobalFree(pi2); ClosePrinter(hPrinter); if (pDevMode) GlobalFree(pDevMode); return ; } // Tell other apps that there was a change... SendMessageTimeout(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_DEVMODECHANGE, 0L, (LPARAM)(LPCSTR)pPrinterName, SMTO_NORMAL, 1000, NULL); // Clean up... if (pi2) GlobalFree(pi2); if (hPrinter) ClosePrinter(hPrinter); if (pDevMode) GlobalFree(pDevMode); return ; }

Geht das denn wirklich nicht einfacher???
