Applies to

LocalPrintServer(LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[])

Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty array.

public:
 LocalPrintServer(cli::array <System::Printing::LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty> ^ propertiesFilter);

public LocalPrintServer (System.Printing.LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[] propertiesFilter);

new System.Printing.LocalPrintServer : System.Printing.LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[] -> System.Printing.LocalPrintServer

Public Sub New (propertiesFilter As LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty())

Parameters

propertiesFilter: LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[]

An array of properties that the constructor initializes.

Applies to

LocalPrintServer(PrintSystemDesiredAccess)

Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified PrintSystemDesiredAccess.

public:
 LocalPrintServer(System::Printing::PrintSystemDesiredAccess desiredAccess);

public LocalPrintServer (System.Printing.PrintSystemDesiredAccess desiredAccess);

new System.Printing.LocalPrintServer : System.Printing.PrintSystemDesiredAccess -> System.Printing.LocalPrintServer

Public Sub New (desiredAccess As PrintSystemDesiredAccess)

Parameters

desiredAccess: PrintSystemDesiredAccess

A value specifying the type of access to the print server that your application needs.

Exceptions

PrintServerException

desiredAccess is a value that can be applied only to a PrintQueue object, not a LocalPrintServer object. For example, UsePrinter.

Examples

The following example shows how to use this constructor in code that will install a second printer that differs in its properties from an existing printer only in location, port, and shared status.

LocalPrintServer myLocalPrintServer = new LocalPrintServer(PrintSystemDesiredAccess.AdministrateServer);
PrintQueue sourcePrintQueue = myLocalPrintServer.DefaultPrintQueue;
PrintPropertyDictionary myPrintProperties = sourcePrintQueue.PropertiesCollection;

// Share the new printer using Remove/Add methods
PrintBooleanProperty shared = new PrintBooleanProperty("IsShared", true);
myPrintProperties.Remove("IsShared");
myPrintProperties.Add("IsShared", shared);

// Give the new printer its share name using SetProperty method
PrintStringProperty theShareName = new PrintStringProperty("ShareName", "\"Son of " + sourcePrintQueue.Name +"\"");
myPrintProperties.SetProperty("ShareName", theShareName);

// Specify the physical location of the new printer using Remove/Add methods
PrintStringProperty theLocation = new PrintStringProperty("Location", "the supply room");
myPrintProperties.Remove("Location");
myPrintProperties.Add("Location", theLocation);

// Specify the port for the new printer
String[] port = new String[] { "COM1:" };

// Install the new printer on the local print server
PrintQueue clonedPrinter = myLocalPrintServer.InstallPrintQueue("My clone of " + sourcePrintQueue.Name, "Xerox WCP 35 PS", port, "WinPrint", myPrintProperties);
myLocalPrintServer.Commit();

// Report outcome
Console.WriteLine("{0} in {1} has been installed and shared as {2}", clonedPrinter.Name, clonedPrinter.Location, clonedPrinter.ShareName);
Console.WriteLine("Press Return to continue ...");
Console.ReadLine();

Dim myLocalPrintServer As New LocalPrintServer(PrintSystemDesiredAccess.AdministrateServer)
Dim sourcePrintQueue As PrintQueue = myLocalPrintServer.DefaultPrintQueue
Dim myPrintProperties As PrintPropertyDictionary = sourcePrintQueue.PropertiesCollection

' Share the new printer using Remove/Add methods
Dim [shared] As New PrintBooleanProperty("IsShared", True)
myPrintProperties.Remove("IsShared")
myPrintProperties.Add("IsShared", [shared])

' Give the new printer its share name using SetProperty method
Dim theShareName As New PrintStringProperty("ShareName", """Son of " & sourcePrintQueue.Name & """")
myPrintProperties.SetProperty("ShareName", theShareName)

' Specify the physical location of the new printer using Remove/Add methods
Dim theLocation As New PrintStringProperty("Location", "the supply room")
myPrintProperties.Remove("Location")
myPrintProperties.Add("Location", theLocation)

' Specify the port for the new printer
Dim port() As String = { "COM1:" }


' Install the new printer on the local print server
Dim clonedPrinter As PrintQueue = myLocalPrintServer.InstallPrintQueue("My clone of " & sourcePrintQueue.Name, "Xerox WCP 35 PS", port, "WinPrint", myPrintProperties)
myLocalPrintServer.Commit()

' Report outcome
Console.WriteLine("{0} in {1} has been installed and shared as {2}", clonedPrinter.Name, clonedPrinter.Location, clonedPrinter.ShareName)
Console.WriteLine("Press Return to continue ...")
Console.ReadLine()

LocalPrintServer(LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[], PrintSystemDesiredAccess)

Initializes a new instance of the LocalPrintServer class that has the specified LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty array and the specified PrintSystemDesiredAccess.

public:
 LocalPrintServer(cli::array <System::Printing::LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty> ^ propertiesFilter, System::Printing::PrintSystemDesiredAccess desiredAccess);

public LocalPrintServer (System.Printing.LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[] propertiesFilter, System.Printing.PrintSystemDesiredAccess desiredAccess);

new System.Printing.LocalPrintServer : System.Printing.LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[] * System.Printing.PrintSystemDesiredAccess -> System.Printing.LocalPrintServer

Public Sub New (propertiesFilter As LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty(), desiredAccess As PrintSystemDesiredAccess)

Parameters

propertiesFilter: LocalPrintServerIndexedProperty[]

An array of properties that the constructor initializes.

desiredAccess: PrintSystemDesiredAccess

A value specifying the type of access to the print server that your program needs.

Exceptions

PrintServerException

desiredAccess is a value that can be applied only to a PrintQueue object, not a LocalPrintServer object. For example, UsePrinter.

Applies to
