Customized PDEV Structures
Important
The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.
For more information, see the Print support app design guide.
The rendering plug-ins implement three methods to support private PDEV structures. Unidrv rendering plug-ins must implement the following methods:
Pscript5 rendering plug-ins must implement the following methods:
PDEV structure is a generic term. It refers to a private, locally defined structure for use by the module that defines it. Typically, it is used for storing physical device characteristics. Each printer driver, and each rendering plug-in, defines its own PDEV structure. There is no globally defined structure of type "PDEV".
