Hello,

I would like to develop a printer driver using the DDK.
I have the DDK installed and looked through, but at
this time I have no idea how to start.

Is there a tutorial for developing printer drivers or a
good book which can help?


Thx for help.

AF

AF,
If there is something like that, I sure would like to know about it to. But
I don't think so. You are pretty much stuck with the samples and
documentation. If you can get by with Unidriver (or Minidriver) that is the
easiest way. Otherwise, it gets incredibly complicated to write your own.

There is a guy with a website on the internet named Paul Yao that supposably
offers a printer driver training course that you can take on-line. But I
think this website is dead because I have tried 3 or 4 times over the last
year to request more information and have received nothing back. Maybe you
will have more luck.
