Python Learning Notes (Win32print API Introduction)

Recently bloggers are studying using Python to control printers

Here to organize the introduction of Win32print API, official website address http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/win32print.html

OpenPrinter Open the specified printer and obtain a handle to the printer

GetPrinter getting information about a specified printer

SetPrinter control of the state of a printer

ClosePrinter to close an open printer object

AddPrinterConnection connecting the specified printer

Deleteprinterconnection Deleting a connection to a specified printer

EnumPrinters enumerating the printers installed in the system

GetDefaultPrinter get default printer name <type ' str ' >

GETDEFAULTPRINTERW get default printer name <type ' Unicode ' >

SetDefaultPrinter to a printer name <type ' str ' > set as Default printer

Setdefaultprinterw to a printer name <type ' Unicode ' > Set as Default printer

StartDocPrinter start a new document at the level of print spooling

Enddocprinter Specifies the end of a document at the level of the print spooler

Abortprinter Deleting a buffered file associated with a printer

Startpageprinter Specify the start of a new page in a print job

Endpageprinter Specifies the end of a page in a print job

StartDoc Start a print job

EndDoc end a successful print job

AbortDoc canceling the printing of a document

StartPage Call this function before printing a new page

EndPage Use this function to complete the printing of a page and prepare the device scene to print the next page

WritePrinter writes data from the sending directory to the printer

EnumJobs enumerating jobs in the print queue

Getjob getting information about a specified job

Setjob controlling the status of a print job

DocumentProperties Printer Configuration control function

Enumprintprocessors enumerating the available print processors in the system

Enumprintprocessordatatypes enumeration of data types supported by a print processor

Enumprinterdrivers enumeration Specifies which printer drivers are installed on the system

EnumForms enumerating the forms available for a single printer

AddForm Adding a new form to the printer's form list

Deleteform remove a form from the list of available forms in the printer

GetForm getting information about a specified form

Setform setting information for the specified form

AddJob is used to obtain a valid pathname so that it can be used to create a spool file for the job. It also assigns a job number to the job

Schedulejob submit a job to print

DeviceCapabilities Use this function to obtain information about the capabilities of a device

GetDeviceCaps get parameter settings for a specified device

Enummonitors enumeration of available print monitors

Enumports enumerating the ports available to a system

Getprintprocessordirectory determine the directory where the printer processor driver and files are included in the specified system

Getprinterdriverdirectory determine what directory the printer driver is included in the specified system

AddPrinter Adding a new printer to the system

Deleteprinter The specified printer flag to be removed from the system

Deleteprinterdriver Removing a printer driver from the system

Deleteprinterdriverex Removing a printer driver and related files from the system

Flushprinter Update printer, clear error status of printer
