Description:

SplPdOpen is an API exported by port drivers. It is called by PrtOpen to open a device for output. SPlPDOpen returns a handle into the port driver to be used on the following calls:

• SplPdAbortDoc

• SplPdClose

• SplPdNewPage

• SplPdResetAbort

• SplPdWrite

SplPdOpen performs an implicit SplPdSet(BIDI_STARTJOB). The port driver should call PrtSet(BIDI_STARTJOB) during this API call.
