This PostScript Driver version of the Xerox Global Print Driver uses the Windows Add Printer wizard and should be used if your security policies prohibit downloading the 'Install from Web' driver package. The Windows client automatically defaults to Windows Virtual Desktop (classic). However, if the client detects that the user also has Azure Resource Manager resources, it automatically adds the resources or notifies the user that they are available.

Build a basic v4 printer driver by using the driver development wizard in Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 to select the minimum set of features to create a functional printer driver.

The instructions in this topic will focus on the steps required for building a driver, and will not explain the many printer driver options available in the wizard.

The intent of this topic is to provide an introduction to the process involved when developing a printer driver in Visual Studio 2019.

Spa

A more detailed look at the printer driver options is provided in Exploring the driver options in the wizard.

Prerequisites

  1. Follow the guidance in Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK)

    1. Install Visual Studio 2019 with the Desktop development with C++ workload and the correct version of the Windows 10 SDK.

    2. Install the WDK for Windows 10, version 2004.

Select features for the basic driver

  1. In Visual Studio, in the main menu, select File > New > Project.

  2. In the New Project window, in the top-right search box, type printer driver v4 and press enter. This will retrieve all driver templates whose names contain the search text.

  3. In the middle pane, select Printer Driver V4.

  4. Type a name for your driver in the Name field, and then select OK. For example, you could type MyV4PrintDriver.

  5. In the Create a v4 Print Driver Wizard, under Choose the driver rendering type:, select V4 print driver with custom rendering filters (accepts XPS only).

  6. Leave all other options at their default settings and select Next.

  7. In the Setup information section of the wizard, leave all options at their default settings, then select Next.

  8. In the Setup information (page 2) section of the wizard, leave all options at their default settings, then select Next.

Microsoft Visual Studio uses the preceding selections to generate the project files for MyV4PrintDriver.

Verify the generated driver files

  1. Navigate to the folder for the generated driver files. For example, if you named your project MyV4PrintDriver, then by default, the files would be saved to the following location: My Documents > Visual Studio 2019 > Projects > MyV4PrintDriver > MyV4PrintDriver.

  2. Verify that the folder contains the following files:

    File nameFile type
    MyV4PrintDriver.gpdPrinter description file
    MyV4PrintDriver.infSetup information file
    MyV4PrintDriver.vcxprojC++ Project file
    MyV4PrintDriver.vcxproj.filtersC++ Project filters file
    MyV4PrintDriver-manifest.iniConfiguration settings file (the print driver manifest)
    V4PrintDriver-Intellisense.jsJavaScript file for Intellisense
    V4PrintDriver-Intellisense-Windows8.1.jsJavaScript file for Intellisense

Notice from the preceding table that one of the files that is created is an INF file. Note that Visual Studio created a skeletal INF file that has to be completed so that it can be used to install the driver.

Create a unique PrinterDriverID for the driver

  1. In the Visual Studio Tools menu select Create GUID.

  2. Select option 4. Registry Format and select the Copy button.

  3. In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, expand the MyV4PrintDriver node.

  4. Select Driver Files, then in the Properties window, look at the value for the Unique Identifier field. Replace this value with the GUID you generated using Paste.

Complete the INF file

In the MyV4PrintDriver project there should be an entry for Driver Files. Open this and the file MyV4PrintDriver.inf should be listed. Open this file.

1. Update the Copyright notice

The first 2 lines of the INF file are the copyright notice for the driver package.

Line 1 contains the year and name of your company. Replace the characters YYYY with the current year and replace the characters <Your manufacturer name> with the name of your company.

Line 2 describes the contents of the driver INF including Manufacturer name and device Model information. Replace the characters <Your manufacturer name> with the name of your company and replace the characters of <Printer Model> with the model name of the printer supported by the driver.

For example, if the year is 2020 and your company's name is Fabrikam, and the print device model is 1234, you would type the following:

2. Verify the [Version] section is correct

Find the line containing [Version].

  • Check and make sure that you see this line:

  • Check and make sure that you see this line:

3. Configure the [SourceDisksFiles] section

Find the line containing [SourceDisksFiles].

Below this type the following lines:

4. Configure the [DriverFiles] section

Find the line containing [DriverFiles].

Below this type the following lines:

5. Configure the [Standard.NT$ARCH$] section

Find the line containing [Standard.NT$ARCH$].

This section references the Install section of the INF for each model. For example, if the model of your printer is Fabrikam 1234, then you would type the following:

6. Add PrinterDriverID to the INF file

In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, expand the MyV4PrintDriver node.

Select Driver Files, then in the Properties window look at the value for the Unique Identifier field. This is the driver ID (the GUID). Highlight it and copy it.

In the INF file, in the [Standard.NT$ARCH$] section, type the following line:

And then after the comma, paste the GUID that you copied in the preceding step. The completed [Standard.NT$ARCH$] section should look like the following:

7. Configure the [Strings] section

Find the line containing [Strings].

Below this you will find the definition of the ManufacturerName string. Replace the characters <Your manufacturer name> with the name of your company to provide a manufacturer's name for the target printer and delete the rest of the line containing the ;TODO:

For example, if your company's name is Fabrikam, you would type the following:

8. Save the INF file

When you complete the INF file, it should look like the following:

Update the Driver Files list

  1. In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer, expand the MyV4PrinterDriver node.

  2. Select the file MyV4PrintDriver.gpd and drag it to the Driver Files node.

Test the driver

Create a print queue using either plug-and-play or the Add Printer Wizard.

For more information about INF files for the v4 printer driver, see V4 Driver INF.

Note

In addition to the files in the preceding table, notice that a MyV4PrintDriver Render Filter folder was created. This is the render filter project template and it provides a good foundation for building an XPS rendering filter and an XPS filter pipeline configuration file. For more information about XPS rendering filters, see XPSDrv Render Module, and to see an example of an XPS rendering filter, see the XPS Rasterization Filter Service sample.
