How the PostScript Virtual Printer works
- The user prints a document to the virtual printer from any application.
- The virtual printer intercepts the print job and saves each printed document as PostScript file.
- The virtual printer creates an INI file with print job information and paths to the generated files.
- The virtual printer sends the path of this INI file to a specified application using one of following transfer modes:
◊ Command line transfer mode. The virtual printer will run the specified application with the path of the INI file in the command line parameters.
◊ WM_COPYDATA transfer mode. The printer runs the specified application (or looks for a running instance) and sends it the path of the INI file using a WM_COPYDATA message. - Your application receives the INI file and parses it.
