MSPLOT

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

SUMMARY

The MSPLOT is a Microsoft® Windows NT®/Windows® 2000 printer driver that is designed to support all HPGL/2 compatible plotters. The full source codes of this driver include parser/UI and are published in the DDK as an example of how to write a user-mode or kernel-mode printer driver in Windows NT/Windows 2000. The sample is 64-bit compliant.

BUILDING THE SAMPLE

To build the sample, use the build command. Once built, the sample will produce three binaries: Plotter.dll, Plotui.dll, and Plotgpc.exe. All plotter samples can be installed using the file plotter.inf. This INF expects plotter minidriver files to be in an i386 directory.
