  • Article

Printer notification values specify types of changes in printer data and/or state for which print clients can be notified.

The following constants can be used in the fdwOptions parameters of the RpcRemoteFindFirstPrinterChangeNotification (section 3.1.4.10.3) and RpcRemoteFindFirstPrinterChangeNotificationEx (section 3.1.4.10.4) methods. They specify the categories of printers for which change notifications are returned.
