SUMMARY
The API Text Viewer shows the pDevMode member of the PRINTER_DEFAULTS user- defined type as DEVMODE user-defined type. If you pass this member to another Windows API to control a printer, the API works correctly only under Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me, but not under Windows NT or Windows 2000. The pDevMode member should be declared as a long.
MORE INFORMATION
The following is the correct type declaration for the PRINTER_DEFAULTS user- defined type:
Type PRINTER_DEFAULTS
pDatatype As String
pDevMode As Long
pDesiredAccess As Long
End Type
