Your best source will be the XP DDK which you can order for free (you
pay for S&H) at http://www.microsoft.com/ddk. There are a number of
print driver samples in %DDK%\src\print. Also read the docs section on
print drivers.

The majority of printers can use RASDD.DLL as a driver by just providing a printer description file in the form of the resource-only
DLL.

Rasdd.dll is applicable only for NT4 platforms and not for W2K and XP
which use the Universal Printer Driver or unidrv.dll. I would suggest
that you start with W2K or XP platforms unless NT4 is your primary
target platform. As I mentioned in my previous posting, the DDK docs and
samples should help you get started at the very least.
