Some points of interest
-What type of virtual printer do you want to develop? The implementation
depends very much on what you want to achieve.
-It might be easier to implement it in plain c, as the DDK and the
examples are in plain c. Although it is possible to use C++, the
question is, if the scale of the project makes up for the hassle.
-You might want to base you driver on one of the examples from the DDK,
like the Plotter Driver. On the other hand, if you just need a plain
bitmap driver, you might take look at the unidriver.
-There are several open source virtual printer drivers available, which
you could take a look at.
