### SplRegister Parameter - ulType

ulType (ULONG) - input Type of alert to enable for the given category.

If the category is PRTALERT_CATEGORY_CORE, this is a bit-field that defines the additional core alerts to enable. The core alerts corresponding to the bits set in the ulType field will be enabled, in addition to any currently enabled core alerts. If the protocol converter does not understand one of the bits that are set, ERROR_INVALID_FLAG_NUMBER(186) should be returned.

If the printer is not capable of setting one of the core alerts whose bit is set, and if any core alerts can be enabled, a Success return code should be returned.

If the category is not PRTALERT_CATEGORY_CORE, then this is a value that defines the specific extended alert to enable.
