Unlocking and Using the OEM Version of ePrint

LEADTOOLS provides OEM support for ePrint, which lets you customize the ePrint user interface for your application.

Before using any of the OEM-Specific Methods, you must unlock the OEM support using UnlockSupport. Once the OEM support is unlocked, the OEM printer can be installed by calling InstallOEMPrinter. The OEM printer must be installed using this method before using any other OEM-specific methods. To uninstall the OEM printer, call UninstallOEMPrinter method.

Once the OEM printer is installed, several methods allow you to set a variety of options for the OEM printer. The Set methods (see Setting and Getting ePrint Printer Settings) allow you to set printer options for the OEM printer.

It is possible to lock the printer to prevent other applications from printing directly to it. To lock the OEM ePrint Printer, call the LockOEMPrinter method, using the same administration password that was passed in the IEpnOemPrinterInfo object when the OEM printer is installed. When the printer is locked, the printer can be used indirectly. To do this, refer to the following topics:

Redirecting to Save to a File

Redirecting to Send an Email

Redirecting to a Printer Redirection List

Use the UnlockOEMPrinter method to unlock the OEM ePrint printer to enable any application to print directly to it. To check whether a specified OEM printer is locked, call the IsOEMPrinterLocked method. For more information, refer to Locking and Unlocking ePrint COM OEM Printers.

In addition to these methods, LEADTOOLS provides GetPrinterType to determine the printer type. For more information, refer to Types of Printers.
