G'day Net,
	I have been asked to write a device driver for a new printing task.
I am not sure what is involved but this is what I gather.

1)  The device will be available from the chooser.
2)  When 'Print' is chosen from any application the output will be 
    spooled to a shared folder on a TOPS network.  This output is
    picked up by a daemon style process and acted upon.

The daemon is not my problem, so all I need to know is what is involved with
writing the device driver (if that is the correct term).
Is there any skeleton code available?

I'd appreciate ANY comments because this whole style of programming is new
to me.
