PrintTicket Test

  • Article

This automated test exercises the unmanaged PrintTicket and PrintCapabilties APIs that are part of Windows Vista and newer version of Windows.

If you have the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) test suite at the command line, the test tool sequentially runs the test cases that the TestSuite.xml file mentions. For the WDK test suite, the test cases call all of the native PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities APIs sequentially by using valid input parameters and expect valid output.

You can use this test to evaluate:

  • A driver's implementation of the PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities COM callable interface: IPrintTicketProvider.

  • A driver plugin's implementation of the PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities COM callable interface: IPrintOEMPrintTicketProvider.

  • A legacy driver's PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities shim layer. You can test the PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities API calls for legacy printers that do not support the IPrintTicketProvider interface.
