Windows 2000 Printer Driver

Hi,

I am writing driver plug-in for Windows 2000 as per the User
Interface driver customize specification. I need to implement
DocumentEvent method. I understand its a mothod of IPrintOemUI2
and only XP and later systems supports this interface.

Now is there any other way do I have to customize the
DocumentEvent function for Windows 2000.

Thanks in advance,
Sridhar

There is no DrvDocumentEvent hook provided on W2K. You basically have
two options.

  • Obtain “The Windows XP Pscript and Unidrv Files Are Available in a
    Windows 2000 Hotfix Package (Q310897)”. This will provide the
    IPrintOemUI2 interface.
  • Write a wrapper for unidrvui. This wrapper will basically punt almost
    every call to the corresponding function in unidrvui by doing a
    LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress. You can then implement the
    DrvDocumentEvent function in your wrapper.

Hope this helps.
