IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_INFORMATION IOCTL

Major Code:

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Description

The IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_INFORMATION request returns the status of an IEEE 1284 end-of-chain device.

Parameters

Major code

Input buffer

None.

Input buffer length

None.

Output buffer

The AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer member points to a PAR_QUERY_INFORMATION structure that the client allocates to output status information. The system-supplied bus driver for parallel ports sets the Status member to a bitwise OR of one or more of the following operating conditions:

PARALLEL_BUSY

PARALLEL_NOT_CONNECTED

PARALLEL_OFF_LINE

PARALLEL_PAPER_EMPTY

PARALLEL_POWER_OFF

PARALLEL_SELECTED

Output buffer length

The Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength member is set to the size, in bytes, of a PAR_QUERY_INFORMATION structure.

Input/output buffer

Input/output buffer length

Status block

If the request is successful, the Information member is set to the size, in bytes, of a PAR_QUERY_INFORMATION structure. Otherwise, the Information is set to zero.

The Status member is set to one of the generic status values returned by device control requests for parallel devices or to the following value:

STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL

The value of the Parameters.DeviceIoControl.OutputBufferLength member is less than the size, in bytes, of a PAR_QUERY_INFORMATION structure.
