problem with KdPrint() in printer Drivers !!

NTDEV
1

Hi Gurus,
I am a nebie…!
When I was building some source code for a Printer Driver( either
as usermode/ kernel mode DLL) ,I am facing a problem with debug statments.
If I use KdPrint() statement , there is an error poping up as
KdPrint Undefined variable.( i did not include ntddk.h).
If I include <ntddk.h> , there are so many error coming up
some,showing syntax errors in the header files and some with FAR
ariables( abt 60 errors).

I am confused, whether I can use KdPrint() in printer related dlls
or not…?
if not, what other debug print statement should I use.
Why i am getting errors if I include <ntddk.h> along with
<winddi.h>
Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashok.

You can’t include ntddk.h in printer/display driver project. You should use
winddi.h and instead of KdPrint use EngDebugPrint.
