PRINT_OTHER_INFO structure (lmalert.h)
The PRINT_OTHER_INFO structure contains information about a print job. The NetAlertRaise and NetAlertRaiseEx functions use the PRINT_OTHER_INFO structure to specify information when a job has finished printing, or when a printer needs intervention.
Syntax
typedef struct _PRINT_OTHER_INFO {
DWORD alrtpr_jobid;
DWORD alrtpr_status;
DWORD alrtpr_submitted;
DWORD alrtpr_size;
} PRINT_OTHER_INFO, *PPRINT_OTHER_INFO, *LPPRINT_OTHER_INFO;
Members
alrtpr_jobid
Type: DWORD
The identification number of the print job.
alrtpr_status
Type: DWORD
A bitmask describing the status of the print job.
You can obtain the overall status of the job by checking PRJOB_QSTATUS (bits 0 and 1).
Possible values for the print job status are listed in the Lmalert.h header file.
If the print job is in the PRJOB_QS_PRINTING state, you can check bits 2 through 8 for the device's status (PRJOB_DEVSTATUS). Bit 15 is also meaningful.
Possible values for the device's status are listed in the Lmalert.h header file.
alrtpr_submitted
Type: DWORD
The time at which the print job was submitted. This value is stored as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00, January 1, 1970, GMT.
alrtpr_size
Type: DWORD
The size, in bytes, of the print job.
Remarks
Additional variable-length data follows the PRINT_OTHER_INFO structure in the alert message buffer. The information is in the form of contiguous null-terminated character strings, as follows.
| String | Meaning |
|---|---|
| computername | The computer that submitted the print job. |
| username | The user who submitted the print job. |
| queuename | The print queue to which the job was submitted. |
| destination | The printer destination (device) to which the print job was routed. |
| status | The status of the print job. |
The calling application must allocate and free the memory for all structures and variable-length data in an alert message buffer.
See NetAlertRaiseEx for a code sample that demonstrates how to raise a print alert.
