The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1

The BinInfo data structure used by the GETSETPAPERBINS printer escape is incorrectly documented on page 12-31 of the Microsoft Windows SDK "Reference: Volume 2" for version 3.0. It is also incorrectly documented in the version 3.1 online help and on page 480 in the version 3.1 "Programmer's Reference, Volume 3: Messages, Structures, and Macros" manual.

The correct structure declaration is as follows:

   typedef struct
   {
     short   BinNumber;
     short   NbrofBins;
     short   Reserved;
     short   Reserved;
     short   Reserved;
     short   Reserved;
   } BinInfo;

The Microsoft Windows Device Development Kit "Device Driver Adaptation Guide" correctly documents this structure on page 11-29 for version 3.0 and on page 421 for version 3.1.
