_In_ PPRINTER_NOTIFY_INFO pPrinterNotifyInfo
);

-
pPrinterNotifyInfo [in]

Pointer to a PRINTER_NOTIFY_INFO buffer returned from a call to the FindNextPrinterChangeNotification function. FreePrinterNotifyInfo deallocates this buffer.

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.
