如何:驗證和合併 PrintTickets

Microsoft Windows 列印結構描述 包含彈性及可延伸的 PrintCapabilitiesPrintTicket 元素。 前者會逐一列出列印裝置的功能,後者會指定裝置應如何針對特定序列的文件、個別文件或個別頁面使用這些功能。

支援列印之應用程式的一般工作順序如下。

  1. 判斷印表機的功能。

  2. 設定 PrintTicket 以使用這些功能。

  3. 認證 PrintTicket

本文說明如何執行這項操作。

範例

在下列簡易範例中,我們只對印表機是否支援雙面 (即兩面) 列印感興趣。 主要步驟如下。

  1. 使用 GetPrintCapabilities 方法取得 PrintCapabilities 物件。

  2. 測試您想使用的功能是否存在。 在下列範例中,我們會測試 PrintCapabilities 物件的 DuplexingCapability 屬性是否具有沿紙張長邊「翻頁」並在紙張兩面列印的功能。 由於 DuplexingCapability 是集合,因此我們使用 ReadOnlyCollection<T>Contains方法。

    注意

    此步驟不是絕對必要。 以下使用的 MergeAndValidatePrintTicket 方法會檢查 PrintTicket 中的每個要求,以檢查印表機的功能。 如果印表機不支援所要求的功能,印表機驅動程式將會在方法所傳回的 PrintTicket 中替代要求。

  3. 如果印表機支援雙工,範例程式代碼會建立要求雙工的 PrintTicket。 但應用程式不會指定 PrintTicket 元素中可用的每一個可能的印表機設定。 這將浪費程式設計人員和程式的時間。 相反地,程式碼只會設定雙工要求,然後將此 PrintTicket 與現有、經完整設定和驗證過的 PrintTicket 合併,在此情況下,為使用者的預設 PrintTicket

  4. 因此,此範例會呼叫 MergeAndValidatePrintTicket 方法,以將全新且最小的 PrintTicket 與使用者的預設 PrintTicket 合併。 這會傳回 ValidationResult,且包含新 PrintTicket 作為其中一個屬性。

  5. 然後範例會測試新的 PrintTicket 是否要求雙工。 如果是,則範例會將其設為使用者的新預設列印票證。 如果上述步驟 2 已排除,且印表機不支援沿著長邊進行雙工,則測試將會導致 false。 (請參閱上述附註。)

  6. 最後一個重要步驟是使用 Commit 方法,將變更認可至 PrintQueueUserPrintTicket 屬性。
