wszPrinterNameThe printer name.

Return value

If the printer supports color printing, the return value is TRUE; otherwise, the return value is FALSE.

Some color printers have the capability to print using true black instead of a combination of cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY). This usually creates darker and sharper text for documents. This option is only useful for color printers that support true black printing.
