Examples

The following example shows how to use this method (called on the LocalPrintServer object that inherits the method from PrintServer) to 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()

Remarks

Use the printQueueProperty parameter to initialize one, and only one, of the queue's ShareName, Comment, or Location properties. If you want to initialize more than one, use the InstallPrintQueue(String, String, String[], String, PrintQueueAttributes, String, String, String, String, Int32, Int32) overload of this method.

Applies to

InstallPrintQueue(String, String, String[], String, PrintQueueAttributes, String, String, String, String, Int32, Int32)

Installs a shared, prioritized print queue, and associated printer driver, on the print server.

public:
 System::Printing::PrintQueue ^ InstallPrintQueue(System::String ^ printQueueName, System::String ^ driverName, cli::array <System::String ^> ^ portNames, System::String ^ printProcessorName, System::Printing::PrintQueueAttributes printQueueAttributes, System::String ^ printQueueShareName, System::String ^ printQueueComment, System::String ^ printQueueLocation, System::String ^ printQueueSeparatorFile, int printQueuePriority, int printQueueDefaultPriority);

member this.InstallPrintQueue : string * string * string[] * string * System.Printing.PrintQueueAttributes * string * string * string * string * int * int -> System.Printing.PrintQueue

Public Function InstallPrintQueue (printQueueName As String, driverName As String, portNames As String(), printProcessorName As String, printQueueAttributes As PrintQueueAttributes, printQueueShareName As String, printQueueComment As String, printQueueLocation As String, printQueueSeparatorFile As String, printQueuePriority As Integer, printQueueDefaultPriority As Integer) As PrintQueue

Parameters

printQueueName: String

The name of the new queue.

driverName: String

The path and name of the printer driver.

portNames: String[]

The IDs of the ports that the new queue uses.

printProcessorName: String

The name of the print processor.

printQueueAttributes: PrintQueueAttributes

The attributes, as flags, of the new queue.

printQueueShareName: String

The share name of the new queue.

printQueueComment: String

A comment about the queue that is visible to users in the Microsoft Windows UI.

printQueueLocation: String

The location of the new queue.

printQueueSeparatorFile: String

The path of a file that is inserted at the beginning of each print job.

printQueuePriority: Int32

A value from 1 through 99 that specifies the priority of the queue relative to other queues that are hosted by the print server.

Remarks

If you do not want to initialize all three of the queue's ShareName, Comment, or Location properties; you can pass an empty string for one or more of printQueueShareName, printQueueComment, and printQueueLocation.
