How to write a driver for virtual printer

Happy to support you!

Here it is necessary to write a “rendering plug in” to stream information through a socket.        A redirection port monitor can be utilized for this task. Also, use the sample port monitor in WDK – Windows Driver Kit. (Get reference from TTV sample in the Microsoft site.)

It is possible to write windows drivers directly in Java unlike in C/ C++. Further, try using the LPD implementation which is available in Java, so that Windows use the  LPR protocol to print to the Java LPD.
