Hi,
I am writing a printer driver and status monitor on Windows-XP. I tried to
get the printer status through IBidiSpl and IBidiRequest Bidi interfaces.
The BindDevice function is failing and the error message says "Printer name
is invalid", but when I call OpenPrinter API with the same printer name, it
returns the printer handle successfully.
If anybody have any idea why BindDevice API call fails, please let me know.

Thanks,
Nitin
