IPrintOemDriverUni COM Interface

Important

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 the Print support app design guide.

The IPrintOemDriverUni COM interface provides a rendering plug-in with access to utility operations supplied by the printer graphics DLL for Unidrv. These operations send a data stream to the print spooler, and obtain driver-managed information.

The following table lists and describes all of the methods defined by the IPrintOemDriverUni interface.

Method	Description
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvGetDriverSetting	Returns the current status of printer features and other internal information.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvGetGPDData	Enables rendering plug-ins to obtain data defined in a printer's generic printer description (GPD) file.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvGetStandardVariable	Enables rendering plug-ins to obtain the current value of Unidrv's standard variables.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvUniTextOut	Enables a rendering plug-in using a device-managed drawing surface to easily output text strings.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvWriteAbortBuf	Enables a rendering plug-in to reset a printer after a user has terminated a print job.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvWriteSpoolBuf	Sends printer data to the spooler.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvXMoveTo	Notifies Unidrv of cursor x-position changes.
IPrintOemDriverUni::DrvYMoveTo	Notifies Unidrv of cursor y-position changes.
