printing - Virtual Printer Driver for Windows -


Can you please help me with the following questions ...

  • if Do I have to implement a virtual printer that will convert a postScript stream into a different format, do I have to implement a virtual printer with scratch or implement a presentation plug-in?
  • The rendering plug-in only supports certain customizations, in addition the data always goes to the spooler, which is not necessary in this case.
  • If I apply a virtual printer driver, does it completely replace the Microsoft PostScript driver or Microsoft Universal Driver?
  • Since my driver is virtual, does it matter if I write a postScript compliant or universal driver as an executor?
  • In addition to implementing the virtual printer driver in addition to converting the printed document into a custom document format to any other method? Can I stop at a port monitor or some things? I can understand what I can understand.
  • What do you need port monitors if you were found in WDK using a Microsoft PostScript driver You can create virtual printers. You do not need to provide any code for this part to describe your virtual printer, only one INF and PPD file. Once you have got the work done and installed, users will then see your virtual printer when printing from the app. This printer will create a stream of postScript like any standard postScript printer, which will be sent to the printer's port monitor.

    Now add portfolios to handle the change in the PostScript stream in whatever format you need.

    EDIT: Andy explains in the comment that v4 (i.e., Win8) print drivers do not support custom port monitors. However, the v3 driver will still work in Win8.
