How can I obtain the DriverExceptionDocGenerator

Question

I am trying to submit the printer driver program according to the document 'Legacy Printer Driver Submission Process', but I am unable to obtain the DriveExceptionDocGenerator mentioned in the document

Answer 1

Hello @礼义 王 ,

According to the official documentation repository, the DriverExceptionDocGenerator tool will be available in the future. But there is no specific information about its release date.

For now, it is better to manually follow the schema and guidelines provided in the documentation to generate driver exception documentation.

While this is a non-Microsoft link, it is the official documentation repository for Windows drivers maintained by Microsoft.

I hope this clarifies.

Answer 2

The DriverExceptionDocGenerator tool is mentioned as a future utility that will be available to help partners prepare the justification JSON for printer driver submissions. However, as of now, the document does not specify a release date or how to obtain the tool. It is expected to be a command-line utility that will guide users through the process of generating a valid justification document.

You may need to keep an eye on updates from Microsoft regarding the availability of the DriverExceptionDocGenerator tool.
