XpRehashPrinterList(3p)
NAME
XpRehashPrinterList - Recomputes the list of available printers.
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lXp [ library... ] #include <X11/extensions/Print.h> void XpRehashPrinterList ( display ) Display *display;
ARGUMENTS
- display
- Specifies a pointer to the Display structure; returned from XOpenDisplay.
DESCRIPTION
XpRehashPrinterList causes the X Print Server to recompute (update) its
list of available printers, and update the attributes for the printers.
The intended usage of this routine is in a special tool that a system
administrator can run after changing the printer topology. General
applications are encouraged to use this call sparingly if at all, and
let the system administrator control printer topology updates.
- Depending on the print facilities underlying the X Print Server, the X
Print Server may be able to detect changes in the printer topology and
dynamically update to reflect the changes, or may not be able to detect
the changes and will have to be notified via XpRehashPrinterList.
Existing print contexts will not be affected by XpRehashPrinterList as
long as their printer destination remains valid.
