Hi All,
I am a new guy in the
driver development. My task is to develop an image driver which actually
create multi-page tiff's. I am some
what sucessfull in developing that(using unidrv).
The procedure that i follow is to create the bitmap in ImageProcessing and
then later create the tiff from these
images. I got te GPD from some sample files and managed to print with a
resolution 150X150 but now i want this to
print in an higher resolution like 300X300.
I tried different options(for 300X300) for *PrintableArea and
*PrintableOrigin, but the bitmap seems to get cut.
Can sombody please tell me what i am doing wrong or if i put this correctly,
1) how do i do this?
2) what is the relation between *PrintableArea and *PrintableOrigin for
different resolutions and Orientations?
3) What does *%(9600, 12648) mean for Potrait orintation(8.5X11 inc), can
some one tell how we come with these two numbers related to the *MasterUnits:
I lookied in to the DDK documentation but did find an answer.
If somebody can please help me with this or some pointers in the internet
where i can go and find out how to do this
will be largly appreciated.
Note :Part of my GPD file looks like this

Thanks in advance,

Thanks bobby, that was of a great help.
Can i ask you one more question? It is related to the resolution in for the
image and the DPI that we add in the GPD file. I have been trying with this
for long and could not figure out this and it frustrates me.
From some place i found out that the if you want a resolution of 300X300 DPI
(feo Letter 8.5X11in size potrait) then the *PrintableArea: should be 300*8.5
= 2550 and 300*11 = 3300 and the *PrintableOrign can me PAIR (1,1) if you
actually don't need any margins. But i tried this with my driver which still
cutts off the image(i.e i only get small portion of the image). If possible
can you please explain how all these are related or else if you have some
links where i can find out how to write a GPD file (other than the DDK
documentation)
My ImageProcessing looks like this:
HRESULT __stdcall IOemUni::ImageProcessing(
PDEVOBJ pdevobj,
PBYTE pSrcBitmap,
PBITMAPINFOHEADER pBitmapInfoHeader,
PBYTE pColorTable,
DWORD dwCallbackID,
PIPPARAMS pIPParams,
OUT PBYTE *ppbResult)
{
VERBOSE(DLLTEXT("IOemUni::ImageProcessing() entry.\r\n"));
LogMessage ("IOemUni::ImageProcessing() entry.\r\n");
MyDBG ("********************* %ld X %ld ***********************\r\n"
,pBitmapInfoHeader->biXPelsPerMeter, pBitmapInfoHeader->biYPelsPerMeter);
MyDBG ("**************Printer details *********************\n");
MyDBG ("pdevobj->pPublicDM ->dmYResolution :%ld\n", pdevobj->pPublicDM
->dmYResolution);
TCHAR szTempDirName[MAX_PATH];
TCHAR szTempFileName[MAX_PATH];
GetTempPath (MAX_PATH, szTempDirName);
GetTempFileName(szTempDirName,TEXT("BMP"),0,szTemp FileName);
char szAnsiTempFileName[1024];
StringCbPrintfA(szAnsiTempFileName, sizeof(szAnsiTempFileName), "%S",
szTempFileName);
int nLen = strlen(szAnsiTempFileName);
StringCchCopyA(szAnsiTempFileName + nLen - 3, sizeof(szAnsiTempFileName),
"bmp");
LPWSTR lpszBitmapFile = new WCHAR[1024];
StringCbPrintfW(lpszBitmapFile,1024,L"%S",szAnsiTe mpFileName);
allFilesW[count] = lpszBitmapFile;
count++;
if (SaveBitmap(lpszBitmapFile,pSrcBitmap,pBitmapInfoH eader,pColorTable))
MyDBG ("Bitmap file created\r\n");
else
MyDBG ("Cannot create bitmap file\r\n");
return S_OK;
}
Where the function SaveBitmap(.....) creates the bitmap image.
The GPD i used is posted in the first question.
Please help me.
