[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Printer driver for Windows 3.0

spee@jrdc.go.jp (04/23/91)

Is it possible to write your own printer driver for Windows 3.0
I have a Japanese domestic printer for which there is no driver.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance, Paul Spee (spee@jrdc.go.jp)

Yes it's possible to write your own Windows device driver.  Call Microsoft
and ask for information on the Device Driver Toolkit (DDK).

It is certainly _possible_, but would be cheaper for you to buy a new
printer.  The DDK (Device driver Development Kit) is $500.

By the way, you could have found this information in the FAQ list.
