Hi all,

I m calling setprinterdata API in my printer driver ,It is called
in a While(1) (infinite loop),When I restart my Personal computer,the
driver vanishes in the printer and faxes folder.


Code is

While(1)
{

hPrinter = Openprinter(L"Pname"...................);

DWORD dwErr = SetPrinterData(hPrinter, L"Printer_Status", REG_BINARY ,
(LPBYTE)szID1, 6);
ClosePrinter(hPrinter);

}

Thanks in Advance.
please help me in this issue.

configuration data for a printer or print server:
