[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] Where can I get and/or how can I write a GDOS Printer Driver?

jfbruno@rodan.acs.syr.edu (John Bruno) (04/08/91)

Can anyone out there tell me where I can get a GDOS driver for a
Xerox 4045 model 50 Laser Printer?

- or -

Can anyone tell me where I can find out how to write one? I have the developer
docs, but I don't see anything in there about writing device drivers for GDOS.
I don't suppose there is sample code for one somewhere?? (doubt it...)

Help would be appreciated!

Speaking for old germany:
As a registered developer you can get a GDOS Kit which contains some sample
source and a library for writing raster-oriented drivers.
Otherwise too much work.

Put that goes for DM 500 (~$330). Thats a little more than I'd be willing
to spend on a printer driver.

Agreed.

Happy trails, Jan
