As the evolution of Microsoft DDK’s has progressed, I can’t find the sample
source for the generic text only minidriver that was available for the NT
4.0 ddk,
but not incorporated for the win2k/xp ddk.
Does anyone know where it has gone? Is it still available? I need to put
together a driver for a pretty dumb serially attached printer. All the doc
leans
towards customization of a sample. Well this would be the ideal sample from
which
to begin.
Regards
Bruce
The tty driver was left out of the W2K DDK. But it is present in the XP
DDK. It is in %DD%\src\print\tty.

Okay. Found the generic/text print driver sample on the XP ddk.
I build it, it installs and runs under XP. I try to install under w2k.
It installs okay. But run a simple editor and try to print, get an error.
CreateDC error. Is this why the generic/text print driver was left off
of the w2k ddk?

The tty sample from the XP DDK will not work on W2K since there are some
calls to functions that exist only on XP. I am sure you can modify it to
work on W2K. Be sure to build it with the W2K build environment of the
XP DDK before attempting to install it on W2K.
