Printer Driver Migration (Windows CE 5.0)
The following list shows printer driver migration issues:
- If you are using an earlier version of the printer driver, keep in mind that those drivers requested RGB-formatted bitmaps, but actually required them to be in blue-green-red format.
- Windows CE .NET 4.2 parallel port printer drivers do not automatically work under Windows CE 5.0. To migrate a Windows CE .NET 4.2 parallel port printer driver to Windows CE 5.0:
Link the parallel port printer driver to the prnport component, and recompile the parallel port printer driver.
- or -
Pass the printer port address to the DeviceIoControl function. For an example, see the GetPrinterDevice implementation in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\OAK\Drivers\Printer\Prnport\Prnport.c.
