DeletePrinterKey function

The DeletePrinterKey function deletes a specified key and all its subkeys for a specified printer.

Syntax

DWORD DeletePrinterKey(
  _In_ HANDLE  hPrinter,
  _In_ LPCTSTR pKeyName
);

Parameters

hPrinter [in]

A handle to the printer for which the function deletes a key. Use the OpenPrinter or AddPrinter function to retrieve a printer handle.

pKeyName [in]

A pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the key to delete. Use the backslash ( \ ) character as a delimiter to specify a path with one or more subkeys.

If pKeyName is an empty string (""), DeletePrinterKey deletes all keys below the top-level key for the printer. If pKeyName is NULL, DeletePrinterKey returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.

If the function fails, the return value is a system error code.

Remarks

Note

This is a blocking or synchronous function and might not return immediately. How quickly this function returns depends on run-time factors such as network status, print server configuration, and printer driver implementation factors that are difficult to predict when writing an application. Calling this function from a thread that manages interaction with the user interface could make the application appear to be unresponsive.
