Print Ticket Parsing

Important

The modern print platform is Windows' preferred means of communicating with printers. We recommend that you use Microsoft's IPP inbox class driver, along with Print Support Apps (PSA), to customize the print experience in Windows 10 and 11 for printer device development.

For more information, see Modern print platform and the Print support app design guide.

After the Print Ticket has been merged for the current document part, the print driver filter must parse the contents to find the settings that apply to the filter. The methods of the IPrintCoreHelper interface can be used in the print driver filter modules to help parse the Print Ticket elements. After the Print Ticket elements have been extracted from the Print Ticket, they can be integrated into the filter module function. The filter modules are described in the XPS Filter Pipeline section.
