如何验证和合并打印票证
Microsoft Windows 打印架构 包括灵活且可扩展的 PrintCapabilities 和 PrintTicket 元素。 前者对打印设备的功能进行项化,后者指定设备应如何对文档、单个文档或单个页面的特定序列使用这些功能。
支持打印的应用程序的典型任务序列如下所示。
确定打印机的功能。
配置 PrintTicket 以使用这些功能。
验证 PrintTicket。
本文介绍如何执行此操作。
例
在下面的简单示例中,我们仅对打印机是否可以支持双面打印(双面打印)感兴趣。 主要步骤如下。
使用 GetPrintCapabilities 方法获取 PrintCapabilities 对象。
测试是否存在所需的功能。 在下面的示例中,我们测试 PrintCapabilities 对象的 DuplexingCapability 属性,以便检测其是否具备双面打印的功能,其中“翻页”方向沿纸张的长边。 由于 DuplexingCapability 是一个集合,因此我们使用 ReadOnlyCollection<T>的
Contains
方法。注意
此步骤并非严格必要。 下面使用的 MergeAndValidatePrintTicket 方法将检查 PrintTicket 中的每个请求,以检查打印机的功能。 如果打印机不支持所请求的功能,打印机驱动程序将在该方法返回的 PrintTicket 中使用替代请求。
如果打印机支持双面打印,示例代码将创建一个启用双面打印的PrintTicket。 但应用程序未指定 PrintTicket 元素中可用的每个可能的打印机设置。 这将浪费程序员和程序时间。 相反,代码仅设置双工请求,然后将此 PrintTicket 与现有的、完全配置和验证的、PrintTicket(在本例中为用户的默认 PrintTicket)合并。
因此,此示例调用 MergeAndValidatePrintTicket 方法,以将新的最小 PrintTicket 与用户的默认 PrintTicket合并。 这会返回一个 ValidationResult,其中包含新 PrintTicket 作为其属性之一。
然后,该示例测试新的 PrintTicket 是否请求双工通信。 如果这样做,则该示例使其成为用户的新默认打印票证。 如果以上的步骤2被省略,并且打印机不支持长边双面打印,那么测试将导致
false
。 (请参阅上面的说明。最后一个重要步骤是使用 Commit 方法将更改提交到 PrintQueue 的 UserPrintTicket 属性。
