How to create a virtual printer in Windows?

Question

I want to create a virtual printer driver for Windows. How and where can I start properly? The WDK has some printing drivers examples that do not seems a good introductory.

Answer 1

Create a Print Port Monitor, associate that port with a printer, and you'll get the data the printer driver sends to the port.

working example of how is it done in Cpp and java can be found here: http://www.mms-computing.co.uk/uk/co/mmscomputing/device/printmonitor/index.php
