Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

The Microsoft Windows printer drivers manage all printer output for Windows
applications. Each driver provides a set of functions that Windows uses to
initialize the printer, retrieve information about the printer, print text
and graphics, and allow users to modify the operation of the printer.
