PRTPORT

Information about BIDI capabilities of the port, returned by the BIDI_Q_PORT command.

If the ulpszProtocol parameter in the PRTPORT data structure is returned, it will be used as the protocol converter for the given printer. If ulpszProtocol is null and ulBidiType bit 0 is clear, the spooler will attempt to fill in the protocol based on the ulpszDeviceID returned by the port driver.
