The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY
=======

The API Text Viewer shows the pDevMode member of the PRINTER_DEFAULTS user-
defined type as DEVMODE user-defined type. If you pass this member to
another Windows API to control a printer, the API works correctly only
under Windows 95, and not under Windows NT. The pDevMode member should be
declared as a long.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following is the correct type declaration for the PRINTER_DEFAULTS user-
defined type:

   Type PRINTER_DEFAULTS
      pDatatype As String
      pDevMode As Long
      pDesiredAccess As Long
   End Type
