another GenPrint question

hello everybody,

Ive looked through many of these groups and havent found an answer to
my question, although all the genprint questions sounds similar, and
for some reason Ashwin from microsoft knows the answers to em all :) .

i got DDK installed and managed to compile genprint and build the
genprint.dll

i read hundreds i think pages on msdn but still cant understand how the
inf file is relatd (how to create it and what data should be in it ?)
and how to actualy install the genprint processor
so i can use it in allready installed printer drivers.

if anyone can help me out here.

Thanks to everyone


p.s
my main target eventualy is to force every print job to be landscape.
Thanks.

It was i little bit hard for me to understand how it works, too.

Yes, i think the print processor is the right way to go.

Here is my oemprint.inf to install a language monitor. It works for me.
