In the windows 22H2 version, which windows api is used to modify the windows printer configuration

szmm 25

I want to modify the Borderless Print switch configuration of windows printer by programming.

As shown below, windows Settings->Bluetooth and other devices->Print preferences (inside print properties) -> advanced ->Borderless Print

For example，deviceCapabilitiesW function in wingdi.h can get the list of supported paper names.

So which windows api is used to modify Borderless Print switch configuration from close to open?

Thank you !

If you're talking about this window (in french here), it can be modified with AdvancedDocumentProperties/SetPrinter :

AdvancedDocumentProperties/SetPrinter modifies it and stores the DEVMODE structure in registry

But with GUI, as those parameters are specific to the Driver and not in standard DEVMODE members

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You could try to use PageBorderless Enum to specifie whether a print device prints to the edge of the media or provides an unprinted margin around the edge.

Thank you.

Thank you for your answer. However, it is suitable for C# .net framework, I need C++ win api. I looked for it in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wingdi/ns-wingdi-devmodea and tested the variables of the DEVMODEA structure , but I couldn't find it. I want to know this configuration is only developed with C# but not with C++.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no winapi to set Borderless Print directly.

You could achieve borderless print by setting dmPaperSize to select the borderless paper type.
