Keywords: driver printer Message-ID: <9770@boulder.Colorado.EDU> Date: 29 Jun 89 16:10:44 GMT Sender: news@boulder.Colorado.EDU Reply-To: adamb@tigger.colorado.edu (Adam 'Velvis' Beguelin) Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 16 A few weeks ago I posted a message asking if anyone knew where I could get a printer driver for an Imageswriter that would work with MS windows/286. Well I haven't gotten any responses so I figure that I have to do it myself. Does anyone know how to go about writing a driver of this type? Is there some sort of specification as to exactly what it needs to do? Can I use Turbo C 2.0? Do I have to buy some ungodly expensive developer's system from Microsoft? Suggestions and discussion would be greatly appreciated!
