Printer Driver Development

Hi every one.



I am looking for initial help to write a tiff image printer in .net
environment using C# or vb.net.
I want to convert word, excel ,PowerPoint and some formats into Tiff image
directly or using spool file (I donâ??t aware of basic of virtual printer).
since my actual process is long running and automated i am unable to go for
tired part toll.
please help me with your suggestions and samples
Experienced people please give me a starting point and suggestion.


Thanks and regards

Nope. You will write it in unmanaged C or C++.

I don't know what that last sentence means.

There are sample printer drivers in the DDK. Those would be a good place
for you to start. Note, however, that this is not a particularly easy
task.
