# PMPrinterGetDeviceURI

Obtains a copy of a printer's device URI.

## Declaration

```occ
OSStatus PMPrinterGetDeviceURI (
   PMPrinter printer,
   CFURLRef *deviceURI
);
```

## Parameters

- `printer`: The printer whose device URI you want to obtain.
- `deviceURI`: A pointer to your [doc://com.apple.corefoundation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFURL](corefoundation/cfurl.md) variable. On return, the variable refers to a URI for the location of the printer device. In spite of the name, this function has Create/Copy semantics which means the caller must release the returned URL if it is not `NULL` and the result code `noErr` is returned.

## Return Value

A result code. See [Result Codes](../core_printing.md).
