hi guys i tried to find a sollution like windows os does when i install a multifunction printer (that has a scanner and fax and printers and .....) i want to access to those device on vc++ i did a snipet of code that allows me to get the list of available
printers but i want to enumirate what a printer has like internal devices<br/>
<br/>
example >> printer : hp xxy<br/>
<br/>
has a scanner : zyw<br/>
<br/>
has a fax : abc <br/>
<br/>
---------------<br/>
<br/>
printer : samsung<br/>
<br/>
has a phone<br/>
<br/>
has a fax : abc <br/>
<br/>
---------------<br/>
<br/>
code for colleciton of available printers</endl;>

//SetupDiGetClassDevs<br/>
// GUID_DEVINTERFACE_IMAGE defined in ==> Wiaintfc.h<br/>
// i think it extends from a handler <br/>
HDEVINFO deviceHandler;<br/>
// data <br/>
SP_DEVINFO_DATA deviceInfoData;<br/>
unsigned long deviceCount=0; <br/>
DEVPROPTYPE ulPropertyType;<br/>
//DWORD size=0,propDataType=0;<br/>
<br/>
BYTE * propertyBuffer=0;<br/>
<br/>
/*<br/>
DWORD Property;<br/>
PDWORD PropertyRegDataType=NULL; //<br/>
PBYTE PropertyBuffer=NULL;*/<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
DWORD dataT;<br/>
TCHAR buffer[1024];<br/>
DWORD requiredSize;<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
deviceHandler= SetupDiGetClassDevs(NULL, TEXT("USB"),NULL, DIGCF_PRESENT|DIGCF_ALLCLASSES);<br/>
if(deviceHandler==INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)<br/>
{<br/>
cout<<" handler error "<<endl;<br/>
}<br/>
//define size <br/>
deviceInfoData.cbSize=sizeof(SP_DEVINFO_DATA);<br/>
// loop on the devices<br/>
while(SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo(deviceHandler,deviceCount,&deviceInfoData))<br/>
{<br/>
++deviceCount;<br/>
cout<<deviceCount<<endl;<br/>
if( SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty<br/>
(<br/>
deviceHandler,<br/>
&deviceInfoData,<br/>
SPDRP_DEVICEDESC, // const property<br/>
&dataT, // in out NULL<br/>
/**************/<br/>
(BYTE*)buffer,//PropertyBuffer, // in out NULL => required
size<br/>
sizeof(buffer),//PropertyBufferSize, // in 0=========><br/>
&requiredSize<br/>
))<br/>
{<br/>
cout<<"required"<<requiredSize<<endl;<br/>
cout<<buffer<<endl;<br/>
_tprintf (TEXT(" Device Description: "%s"n"), buffer);<br/>
<br/>
}<br/>
else<br/>
{<br/>
cout<<" false n"<<endl;<br/>
}<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
}<br/>
<br/>
SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList(deviceHandler);
-----------------------------------------------------------
