Hi all,
There is a printer driver issue and need your help.

I want to modify framework of printer driver to enhance printing speed
and reduce RAW data size, but we encounter troublesome issue on network
printing.

When user print from Client end, our driver need some device
information to produce RAW data, then send those RAW data to Server end
to printout to device.

The question is, is there a API or sample code can use in Client end
and to get information of Server end ???

Please give me your kindly advice or support, thanks.


Yours sincerely,
Roguekid
