Meaning of DriverInit()'s return value?

[BlackDynamite]

Hello again. If DriverInit() returns a non-null handle, does that mean the printer is indeed initialized? If so, why would I then get a message box saying "Printer not activated, error code -30"?

Thanks in advance...

Hello,

If DriverInit returns a non-null handle this means that it finds the printer and attach to it.

You will need to activate the printer before printing to it and therefore you need to call EnablePrinter() right after your call to DriverInit and right before each printout.

Error code -30 means that the printer has timeout.

Hope this helps
