The print spooler calls a printer interface DLL's DrvDriverEvent function when the spooler processes driver-specific events that might require action by the printer driver.
Caller-supplied bit flag indicating the event that has occurred. Valid flags are listed in the following table.
| Flag | Definition |
|---|---|
| DRIVER_EVENT_DELETE | The driver is being removed. |
| DRIVER_EVENT_INITIALIZE | The driver has just been installed. |
Caller-supplied value indicating the type of structure pointed to by the pDriverInfo parameter, as indicated in the following table.
| dwLevel Value | Structure pointed to by pDriverInfo |
|---|---|
| 1 | DRIVER_INFO_1 |
| 2 | DRIVER_INFO_2 |
| 3 | DRIVER_INFO_3 |
The DRIVER_INFO_N structures are described in the Microsoft Windows SDK documentation.
Caller-supplied pointer to a structure whose type is identified by the dwLevel parameter.
Caller-supplied flags. See the following Remarks section.
If the operation succeeds, the function should return TRUE. Otherwise, it should return FALSE.
The optional DrvDriverEvent function is called by the spooler's AddPrinterDriverEx and DeletePrinterDriverEx functions, which are described in the Windows SDK documentation.
The function's purpose is to allow a printer driver's printer interface DLL to perform operations needed when the driver is installed or removed. A typical operation for this function to perform is to create or remove extra driver-specific files that are not specified as dependent files in a printer INF file.
If dwDriverEvent is DRIVER_EVENT_DELETE, the lparam parameter contains the flags that were specified for the DeletePrinterDriverEx function's dwDeleteFlag parameter. The lparam parameter is not used if dwDriverEvent is DRIVER_EVENT_INITIALIZE.
Because the DrvDriverEvent function is called in the context of the print spooler, it cannot display a user interface.
