SUMMARY
Wordpad and Notepad for Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Millennium Edition (Me) do not request the size of the DEVMODE structure when the printer driver is not the default driver.
MORE INFORMATION
When you change the default printer driver from the Print Setup dialog box
in Wordpad or Notepad, do not request the size of the DEVMODE structure.
Instead of calling the printer drivers ExtDeviceMode function with
wMode = 0 first, and then calling ExtDeviceMode function with
wMode = 10 (DM_COPY and DM_MODIFY), both Wordpad and Notepad call the
ExtDeviceMode function with wMode = 10 directly.
This is incorrect. All applications are first required to request the size
of DEVMODE structure and then call ExtDeviceMode with the DM_COPY and
DM_MODIFY flags set.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
