GetPrinterBinsA

Rendering and printing

Description

The trailing A denotes the ANSI (char) DLL entry point; the ActiveX/COM surface exposes only the Unicode form. Behaviour is identical to GetPrinterBins and string arguments are interpreted using the current SetAnsiMode code page

This function returns a string containing the bin numbers and names for all the bins (paper trays) available for the specified printer. The string returned contains a line of text for each bin, the lines of text are separated with CR/LF characters. Each line contains a numeric bin number, a comma, and the name of the bin, in double quotes. The bin numbers can be used with the SetupPrinter function.
