Applying a profile using the API

The following C# sample demonstrates how to apply a Profile to a Printer using the BlackIceDEVMODE.dll.

[DllImport("BlackIceDEVMODE.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]

public static extern IntPtr LoadBlackIceDEVMODE(string pName);

[DllImport("BlackIceDEVMODE.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]

public static extern bool ApplyProfileFile(string Printer, string Profile, IntPtr Devmode);

[DllImport("BlackIceDEVMODE.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]

public static extern bool SaveBlackIceDEVMODE(string Printer, IntPtr Devmode);

[DllImport("BlackIceDEVMODE.dll")]

public static extern boolReleaseBlackIceDEVMODE(IntPtr Devmode);

void SetProfileFile(string PrinterName, string ProfileFile)

{

// Loading current printer settings.

IntPtr Devmode = LoadBlackIceDEVMODE(PrinterName);

// Applying the settings in the profile.

ApplyProfileFile(PrinterName, ProfileFile, Devmode);

// Saving the printer settings for the current user.

SaveBlackIceDEVMODE(PrinterName, Devmode);

// Freeing the used memory.

ReleaseBlackIceDEVMODE(Devmode);

}
