Hi,

Bit of a random question, but I'm obviously searching the wrong part of google !
We have a requirement to write a print spooler driver for a Win Server 2000 machine.
Has anybody any idea where you might begin on this task ?

Thanks for any help,

Cheers

Ben

I would begin by writing the code to listen to the port that the print job is going to be sent to, and whenever something is sent to that port (for example lpt1) you could handle reformatting the file to a format the printer would understand and then send the file along.

Good luck,
Kevin
