# PMPrinterGetPrinterResolution

Obtains a resolution setting for the specified printer.

## Declaration

```occ
OSStatus PMPrinterGetPrinterResolution (
   PMPrinter printer,
   PMTag tag,
   PMResolution *res
);
```

## Parameters

- `printer`: The printer whose resolution you want to obtain.
- `tag`: A tag that specifies the kind of resolution information you want to obtain (minimum, maximum, default, and so forth). See [doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/core_printing/tag_constants](applicationservices/core_printing/tag_constants.md) for a description of the constants you can pass in this parameter.
- `res`: A pointer to your [doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/core_printing/pmresolution](applicationservices/core_printing/pmresolution.md) data structure. On return, the structure contains the resolution setting associated with the tag value.

## Return Value

A result code. The result code `kPMNotImplemented` indicates that the printer driver does not support multiple resolution settings.
