'Virtual' printer driver possible?
-
Greetings to all, First, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I was wondering if it is possible to create a printer driver in C# that would actually save the output to an image file such as a TIFF as opposed to printing to a physical printer. I am fairly new to .NET and Windows applications, so any help or references are greatly appreciated, especially regarding driver development. Is C#/.NET even the proper avenue for such a task? Thanks in advance for any assistance or references.

C# is not the proper language to be writing drivers in. C# is a high-level, application programming language. Driver development is low-level close-to-the-hardware development more suited for a language like C.
