Using Unidrv Vector Graphics Capabilities
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 Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.
On Microsoft Windows XP and later, Unidrv provides support for two types of vector graphics printers: HP-GL/2 monochrome (PCL-5e), or PCL XL monochrome (PCL-6). On Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and later, Unidrv also supports PCL XL color (PCL-6). There is also pseudovector graphics support for graphics printers that do not have vector rendering capabilities.
