One of the problems I have with the documentation for printer driver
development is that most of it is really video driver documentation. =
Once
in a while, you get a printer-driver-specific comment or two, but in =
large
part you have to know already which parts apply to printer drivers and =
which
don’t (ok, so it isn’t hard to know that DrvSetPointerShape or
DrvSetPointerShape doesn’t apply).
I come at this from the point of view of developing a monolithic =
driver. I
have not yet developed a unidrv driver, so I can’t comment on it from =
that
point of view. I expect to be able to soon, though.

As I mentioned in my post to your same question on the ddk newsgrp, the =
only
workaround I can think of is to use GetPrinter with level 2. But this
approach will work only if your printer supports SNMP.
You had mentioned that it was very hard for you to find the right
docs/resources. If you have any input on specific areas in the DDK
docs/samples that can be improved, I would like to hear that. Thanks =
for
your feedback!

Thank you for the answer Ashwin.
But since TCPMON does not support the ReadPort function, does it make
available for the language monitor some other way to retrieve info from =
the
printer? or I have to (can) implement a reading on a socket at Lang Mon
level? or I must write a my own port monitor for TCP communication?
I am sorry to seem so dummy, but at the very first time of driver
developing, is very hard to find documentation and resource in order to =
make
not only a driver that works, but a driver with the best choice for the
Microsoft world.
Thank you again,
GG.

Tcpmon does not support the ReadPort function. That is the reason for =
your
getting the unsupported message. So I guess the answer to your question =
is
that you cannot use your language monitor with tcpmon.

Subject: [ntdev] TCP/IP printing: How read info back form the printer
Hi all,
I must customize my printer driver (based on UNIDRV architecture) for
printing over a standard TCP/IP port. I would like to use the =
tcpmon.dll and
works only in my language monitor dll. Can I do that? CUrrently I can =
send
data to the printer and print correctly, but I am not able to receive =
back
any info. When I call the ReadPort() function, it works fine for LPT =
and USB
printing, it return with “The request is not supported” error. Any =
ideas?
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestion,
GG.
