Hi,
I am also facing the same problem.

Assuming you are doing this BMP-capture in ImageProcessing(), what value are
you returning and to what are you setting ppbResult?
Yes, i am using ImageProcessing but i am not setting any values for
ppbResult. I only need the bitmap so what i do is create a bitmap file in the
Windows temp directory from pSrcBitmap. Later on in the Destruction of
IOemUni (IOemUni::~IOemUni()) class i check to see if there are any bitmap
files created. If so i popup a dialog for the user to preview the bitmaps and
then can convert that bitmap to a TIFF.
Everything works fine till this for resolution 150, but when i add options
for another resolution i get the bitmap cut, i.e i only get some part of the
whole page. I think that this is the problem with my GPD file. If you can
help me this is the GPD file that i am using

Can you also tell me how this different numbers ie, in the PAIR for
PrintableArea and PrintableOrigin is related to the different resolution and
the MasterUnits.

Hi,
I am also trying to develop a bitmap printer driver. I am getting only a
part of the image and the size of the image is also too big. I think, I am
doing some mistake in GPD file. Can you please send me the GPD file that
you
are using.

Thanks,
Nitin

Hello All,

I am developing a bitmap driver based on universal mini printer driver.
I used the sample GPD and OEMUNI rendering plug-in in DDK. I get a full
image when I use the resolution to be 150 DPI and only a half image
when I use 300 DPI.

Is there any additional setting or options to be included in my GPD to
get complete image at 300 DPI?
Any help in this regard??

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Vijji
