如何在Windows上的C ++中重命名打印机？

Question

在WinSpool.h中，我可以使用EnumPrinters函数枚举所有打印机，但是找不到如何重命名现有打印机？

Answer 1

You can use the SetPrinter function to rename a printer.

You would set the Level parameter to 2 and the pPrinter parameter would point to a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure. The PRINTER_INFO_2::pPrinterName field lets you change the printer name.

Note that the docs for SetPrinter say:

To modify the current printer settings, call the GetPrinter function to retrieve the current settings into a PRINTER_INFO_2 structure, modify the members of that structure as necessary, and then call SetPrinter .

So you would need to call GetPrinter with a properly initialized structure first, before modifying the name and calling SetPrinter .
