Providing IPrintCoreHelper Configuration Service to Filters

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.

The IPrintCoreHelper interface is a new interface that is implemented by the Windows Vista Unidrv/PScript5 configuration module. This interface allows the client machine to:

  1. Enumerate GPD or PPD features, options, and constraints.

  2. Get values for PPD's global, feature, or option attributes.

  3. Get current settings for doc-sticky and printer-sticky GPD or PPD features.

  4. Create a GDL parser snapshot for full access to GPD and GDL content.
