[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
This sample creates a custom device status ASP for a Web printer. In this case, a modified document queue view is implemented, with e-mail and phone links to a fictitous helpdesk. This works on both x86 and Alpha platforms.
To set up the Custom Queue View, open the Printers folder and select Add Printer. When asked for the model, select Have Disk. Point the browser to the directory in which these files reside, and continue the install.
After installing the printer, connect to http://machine_name/printers and click the printer you installed. Then select Device Status to view the custom page. At this point, the source files will be interpreted as would any other ASP.
File DescriptionCustomQ.asp This is the actual queue view implementation. It is derived from the standard IPP_0007.ASP file, with a few modifications. Custom.inf This contains the information for the ASP sample printer driver, based on the Lexmark Optra L printer. LOPTRAP.PPD The PPD for the sample printer. Queueasp.htm The documentation for this sample (this file).
