[comp.sys.mac.programmer] LSC Printer Driver Info

atchison@hpindda.HP.COM (Lee Atchison) (05/04/88)

Could someone point me in the direction of information needed to write
a printer driver?  I need to know such things as:

* How to make chooser recognize the new print driver.
* What resource numbers, etc. I need for things.

The LSC manual and IM2 provided me with a good start, but they only cover
generic device drivers, and apparently things are different for printer
drivers.

Any LSC examples would also be appreciated.

Thanks.

See Earle Horton's article in the November '87 MacTutor.

The session on printing at the Developer's Conference  brought up
some interesting information about writing printer drivers.  The 
Apple folks said that Mr. Horton's article was correct for now
but things may change in the near future.  The innards of Apple's
printing interface haven't been well documented, because they
keep changing.
