Language Monitor being ignored
Posted by Bostjan Zvanut on September 10th, 2003


I made a printer driver that uses language monitor.

In addition I have a utility that calls "GetPrinterData" with a reg
string in it.

Now that call usualy reaches the language monitor through
"GetPrinterDataFromPort" and I can poll the printer for it's
configuration. Than I return the received data and the program parses
it to display the printer configuration.

However on Windows 2000 I have encountered that the "GetPrinterData"
doesn't reach the language monitor. This means that
"GetPrinterDataFromPort" is not called and the program doesn't receive
anything.

Can anybody explain why this would happen?
