Printer Driver Install

NTDEV
1

Env: Window 2000

I’ve created a simple printer driver using the GenPrint project in the Windows 2000 DDK. The project has a few minor modification to it. The project compiles fine with no errors.

I’ve created a INF file to install the driver, and that seem to work all the way up to the end and then fails this dialog:

Dialog title: Add Printer Wizard
Dialog text: Unable to install Printer. Operation could not be completed.

It does prompt you and tell you that driver isn’t signed, And you see the files being copied… After that is when it fails.

Does anyone have any suggestion or ideas?

Thanks,

I am not sure what you mean when you say “sample printer driver using
the genprint sample”. The genprint sample is a print processor and needs
to be installed in conjunction with a printer driver. So which printer
driver are you using and more importantly, which INF are you using to
install this driver? The error you are getting is most probably due to
an error in the INF file. I would suggest that you run into through
ChkINF. If you are installing a driver that has a plug-in and/or GPD,
the error could be caused by an error in one of these as well. But I
would check the INF first and go from there.
