GDI calls this escape whenever an application calls the ResetDC function (GDI.376). Printer drivers that can reset print-job options (such as orientation and paper source) during a single print job must support the RESETDEVICE escape. Parameter Description ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── lpDevice Points to a PDEVICE structure specifying the new physical device. lpDeviceOld Points to a PDEVICE structure containing the device-specific settings to be copied to the new physical device structure. Return Value The return value is TRUE if the function is successful. Otherwise, it is FALSE. Comments The RESETDEVICE escape must copy all information required to continue the current print job to the new physical device structure. This includes information such as the print-job number and record of downloaded resources, but does not include information about the environment (such as orientation and paper source). GDI calls the Enable function to set the environment for the new physical device structure before calling this escape. After the RESETDEVICE escape returns, GDI immediately calls the Disable function with the old physical device structure. RESETDEVICE must ensure that resources copied to the new physical device structure are not deleted on the subsequent call to Disable. For example, if the Disable function frees any working buffers allocated by the driver at the start of a print job, RESETDEVICE must either allocate new buffers for the new physical device structure or remove all pointers to these buffers from the old physical device structure.
