suggestions needed for developing a printer driver
Posted by mpy on January 28th, 2008


I have no expereince on wrting a printer driver and need your advices or
suggestions on developing a unidrive based image driver.
I have downloaded WDK/WDF, built the samples by using "build -cZ",
and tested the sample image driver in Print section. Now I need to
modify the src code, integrate more stuff together, and do debugging soon.
Is Visual Studio 6.0 a good IDE for this project? Do I need SDK for this?
Is WDK the only one I need?
Do you have any other advices or suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance!

Only as text editor. Build from WDK BUILD, debug with WinDbg.

No.

Yes.

One is able to use Visual Studio with ddkbuild.bat file, this allows to edit
sources and build them as you usually do when developing user mode
applications. Sometimes even intellisence works
