Printing
-
I have an interesting problem, but have no idea where to start, any help/links etc most welcome The problem: I want to create an c# app that any other application (eg, Word, Excel etc ) can print to (so i assume it would be a printer driver?? or printer queue??) Once the file has been printed to the c# app I will save it out as a file in a specific location (hopefully as postscript). How do applications like word send a file to a print driver? is it as a postscript file? Thanks in advance for any comments Mark

Well, you can not write printer app. There is no such thing. But you can write virtual printer driver. Then any application can use your driver to write (send) data to your driver. You can not use C# to write printer drivers too. Too bad, you need Windows Driver Kit [^].
Yusuf Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]
