Input: printer's vid and pid
Output: printer full response or printer status
Winapi wrapper to connect to embedded web server in HP printers (HP EWS) via usb and get device current status. Async read and write modes.
For the start you only need to know only vid and pid of the device. If you need to set security, call CxxWinapi::set_security before calling CxxWinapi::get_winusb_handle or CxxWinapi::get_file_interface_handle function.
If winusb handle wasn't found, it's either printer disconnected or there's no possibility to use winusb interface, you should call CxxWinapi::get_file_interface_handle to obtain file interface and use it with corresponding function.
By default standard out package will be used to get printer response, but you can specify your own package, just don't forget about new line control character.
Printer responsed as html page inside xml packet which contains status inside "deviceStatus_tableCell" tag. You can call CxxWinapi::get_text_status_from_html to get only status string.
It's possible to use your our GUIDs and IDs, check insides of CxxWinapi::get_winusb_handle or CxxWinapi::get_file_interface_handle
There are two ways to define Device Interface Guid
// example GUID_DEVINTERFACE_DISK {53F56307-B6BF-11D0-94F2-00A0C91EFB8B}
DEFINE_GUID(GUID_DEVINTERFACE_DISK, 0x53f56307, 0xb6bf, 0x11d0, 0x94, 0xf2, 0x00, 0xa0, 0xc9, 0x1e, 0xfb, 0x8b);
static constexpr GUID GUID_DEVINTERFACE_DISK = {0x53f56307, 0xb6bf, 0x11d0, { 0x94, 0xf2, 0x00, 0xa0, 0xc9, 0x1e, 0xfb, 0x8b}};
Define GUID
GUID* right_guid = (GUID*)(void*)&GUID_DEVINTERFACE_DISK;
Define device instance identifier
WCHAR DeviceInstanceID[] = L"USB\\VID_03F0&PID_612A&MI_01\\6&2EF0B81C&1&0001\0";
Couldn't deduce GUID for file_interface programmatically, looks like it's the same in every OS
