[python-win32] win32print.SetPrinter

[Kelly Kranabetter]

I'm trying to set the port of a printer (on Windows 98) but it fails if
the devmode of the printer is NULL.

Here is some sample code:

h= win32print.OpenPrinter("Printername")
settings= win32print.GetPrinter(h, 2)
settings["pPortName"]= r"\\newserver\printer"
win32print.SetPrinter(h, 2, settings, 0)
# setprinter fails because devmode is None
# exception thrown is ValueError - PyDEVMODE cannot be None in this
context

I've confirmed with a little C program that the DevMode is definitely
NULL for the printer.

How can I get around this?
