Hello.

I am developing a new printer driver. And want to show status monitor at
local desktop and client side desktop on Vista/7.
I have read the document of AsyncUI. And modified AsyncUI sample to show
customUI on local desktop ok.

I use on server side DLL and one client side DLL.

The server side DLL creates channel by:

hResult = CreatePrintAsyncNotifyChannel(szPrinterNameW,
const_cast<GUID*>(&MS_ASYNCNOTIFY_UI),
kAllUsers,
kBiDirectional,
pIAsynchCallback,
&pIAsynchNotifyChannel);

Then client side DLL will be launched by XML as:
<customUI dll=\"clientUI.dll\" entrypoint=\"ShowStatusMonitor\" bidi=\"true\">


But how to show customUI on local desktop when the print job is come from
remote client PC?


Please help me. Thanks!

You want the Spooler service to be able of displaying the UI?

This is banned in Vista+ OSes.

Dear Sir:

I have a printer Canon i905D. There is inbox driver in Vista.
When the printer is shared at Vista, I can print from a remote Vista
PC.
When paper out, it will show paper out error dislog at both desktop.
I really want to know how to implement this feature.

The MS-PAN.pdf says it is based on RPC protocal.
So I believe it is possible to show UI on user desktop.
Please advice. Thanks!

George
