- Re: Please help: Printer installation "could not be completed" despite printer driver files got copied
- Posted by Michael Leung on September 8th, 2003
Dan,
Thank heaps for your help.
I am wondering what is the minimum set of functions I will need
to implement in order to avoid the error message. What are other
things that need to be in place apart from those that you mentioned ?
Is this documented in the DDK docs or is it undocumented ?
Many Thanks,
Michael.

Michael,
I'm not aware of any document describing this.
AFAIK the driver has to implement the following functions:
1. Graphis module driver entry point
DrvEnableDriver if it's a KERNEL mode driver
or
DllEntryPoint and DrvQueryDriverInfo if a USER mode driver
2. Unload graphis module entry point
DrvDisableDriver
3. DC creation/deletetion related functions:
DrvEnablePDEV
DrvCompletePDEV
DrvDisablePDEV
and maybe
DrvResetPDEV
DrvEnableSurface
DrvDisableSurface
4. DEVMODE and DeviceCaps related functions:
DrvDeviceCapabilities
DrvDocumentPropertySheets
and maybe
DrvDevicePropertySheets
DrvPrinterEvent
As you can see, most of the non-drawing/spooling functions must be implemented
before you can actually install the driver in the system (and start testing/debugging it)
Regards,
Dan.
