驱动安装包构成

参考ddk手册-Providing a Driver Package

  • 驱动文件，.dll, .sys之类
  • 指导安装的文件
    • .inf（information）
    • .cat（catalog）
    • co-installers
  • 其他文件

GDI Printer Drivers

All Windows 2000 and later printer drivers consist of the following components:

  • A printer graphics DLL that assists GDI in rendering a print job, and sends the rendered data stream to the print spooler.

    usrmdprt

    gdiprint

  • A printer interface DLL that provides both a user interface to the driver's configuration parameters, and an interface the spooler can call to notify the driver of print-related system events.

TEMP

关键文件路径

注：我的windows10系统里的路径（因为是挂载到Linux访问的，所以采用的是Linux的路径风格）。

C/Windows/System32/

  • winspool.drv
  • spoolss.dll
  • spoolsv.exe
  • gdi32.dll

Print Spooler

A print job is defined (or bracketed) by the StartDoc and EndDoc functions.

数据类型

  • EMF
  • ASCII
  • Raw

StartDoc EndDoc大概是很重要的API是EMF专用的？

Print Spooler API

注：临时图片，不保存进git仓库，最后将总结到总的原理图中，
