PrintUI.DLL - acessando funções da DLL pelo DOS

[rochinha]

Amiguinhos,

O utilitário do sistema operacional RunDLL32.exe é util também para que nossas aplicações possam mandar comandos à DLLs.

No texto abaixo existem explicações de como acessar a PrinUI.DLL e manipular tudo em se tratando de impressoras.

Originalmente em Inglês:

Command Line Printer Control in Windows 2000 / XP

Many, but not all, printer settings can be done from Windows 2000's command line using PRINTUI.DLL and RUNDLL32.EXE.

The list of functions on this page was generated using the following command in Windows 2000 (Professional):

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /?
Notes: (1) I certainly did not test each of these switches myself!
To be honest, I usually prefer to use the (VBScript) printer management scripts that come with Windows 2000 and later (%windir%\System32\*prn*.vbs).
(2) In Windows 7, PRINTUI.EXE can be used as shorthand for RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry
More information is available at Microsoft's TechNet under Q189105.

Download Microsoft's PrintUI.DLL User's Guide and Reference for more detailed, task oriented explanations of command line options.

Amiguinho,

Acredito sim,

Como sei que muitos aqui ainda tem sistemas no console, sei que informações assim são de grande valia.

Muitas vezes ao vasculhar meus documentos armazenados vou encontrando pérolas e que muitas vezes ainda me ajudam na labuta.
