3.1.4.8.4 RpcDeletePrintProcessor (Opnum 48)

  • Article

RpcDeletePrintProcessor removes a print processor.

 DWORD RpcDeletePrintProcessor(
   [in, string, unique] STRING_HANDLE Name,
   [in, string, unique] wchar_t* pEnvironment,
   [in, string] wchar_t* pPrintProcessorName
 );

Name: A parameter specified in Print Server Name Parameters (section 3.1.4.1.4).

pEnvironment: A parameter specified in Environment Name Parameters (section 3.1.4.1.3).

pPrintProcessorName: A pointer to a string that specifies the name of the print processor that is removed. For rules governing print processor names, see Print Processor Names (section 2.2.4.11).

Return Values: This method MUST return zero (ERROR_SUCCESS) to indicate successful completion or a nonzero Windows error code to indicate failure [MS-ERREF].

Upon receiving this message, the server MUST validate the following:

  • Perform the validation steps specified in Print Server Name Parameters.

  • Perform the validation steps specified in Environment Name Parameters.

  • The string that is referenced by the pPrintProcessorName parameter identifies a print processor installed on the server.

  • Verify that there are no printers on the system that use the print processor at this time, and if that verification fails, return ERROR_CAN_NOT_COMPLETE.

  • Additional validation MAY<361> be performed.

If parameter validation fails, the server MUST fail the operation immediately and return a nonzero error response to the client. Otherwise, the server MUST process the message and compose a response to the client as follows:

  • Clear all references to the specified print processor from any other data structures.

  • Delete the print processor object.

  • If any clients have registered for notification of server object changes, a notification MUST be broadcast to them.

  • Return the status of the operation.
