We are working on Monolithic printer drivers and the driver works fine
when built with Windows 2000 DDK Build environment. But after making it
to build on Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK we are facing problem in
applications like Wordpad and MS Paint. Can anybody provide any kind of
information regarding this.

If you grep through the files in the DDK, you will find that the string
“USE_MFC” only appears in one file, makefile.new. Maybe if you read
through that file, you would be able to determine what it does.

ps I agree with Maxim, using MFC in a printer driver is probably not
such a good idea.

Hi,
Can anyone tell what is the major difference between the two flags
USE_MFC and USE_MFCUNICODE. Why cant I use the flag USE_MFC with Windows
Server SP1 DDK. Any input in this regard will be very helpful.
Regards,
Maddy

Maybe it is not possible to use MFC in printer driver UI? Note: lots
of apps do printing, and the EXE itself is not MFC-based. In such a
situation, MFC has serious limitations.

Subject: [ntdev] Wordpad crashes when USE_MFCUNICODE is used
Hi,
We are working on Monolithic Printer drivers on Windows platform.
For this we are using :
1) Visual studio 6 and
2) Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK
We have used MFC functions for the development of our UI module. In the
sources file for UI we have set a flag USE_MFCUNICODE made equal to 1
i.e.,(USE_MFCUNICODE=1). When USE_MFCUNICODE is 1 then our driver
crashes while printing from Wordpad on any Windows platform. Mspaint
application hangs after printing. The crash dump says that the crash is
at mfc42u.dll and there is an access violation to an unreferenced memory
location. If we use USE_MFC=1 instead of USE_MFCUNICODE=1 then the
checked build version of the driver cannot be installed on Win 2000
operating system.
Have anyone come across this kind of problem before. Any idea on the
possible solution?
Thanks and Regards,
Maddy
