Linking error with DDK function...

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to use "DrvQueryJobAttributes" in VC++ .net 2005. But it is
giving me following error:

Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_DrvQueryJobAttributes referenced in function __catch$_main$0 main.obj
Error 2 fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
D:\VC\PrintProcessor\Debug\PrintProcessor.exe 1

Can anyone help me to resolve above error.

(I've DDK within my system).
Regards,
Chirag.

What on earth are you trying to do? DrvQueryJobAttributes is a function
that is provided by a printer's interface DLL, and gets called by a print
processor. There is no "DrvQueryJobAttributes" API; you have to find and
load the interface DLL for the printer you want.

Make sure you properly declare this function with __stdcall. Then use a .def
file to define at as export, rather than using the keywords. Otherwise you
will get a mismatch with the underscore, etc...
