Developing the print logic in your application? Wasting a lot of paper trying to get things to look just right? Try our virtual printer driver. You'll love it!

Image Printer Driver is a Windows '95/'98/Millenium/2000/XP printer driver that creates multi-page TIFF files and displays them on your screen instead of sending them to your printer. You install the driver the same way you install a Windows printer - no programming required.

The driver uses a 32-bit DLL that  displays the TIFF file on your screen using your favorite image viewer. When you buy this software you get the source code for the DLL, which allows you to develop your own processing of print jobs sent from any Windows application.

There are many, many applications for this utility. With the "Exit32.DLL" included in the package, you can preview prints from any Windows application, including your own.

The base product produces a multipage TIFF file and launches the application you have specified as the default viewer for files having extensions of .TIF. Registering the product gives you the source code for the DLL called by the driver. The DLL receives each page of the print job as a bitmap. You can modify the source code to do whatever you want with the bitmap delivered from the driver. The source code is compatible with Visual C++ V6.0.

This is a GREAT utility for software developers who are writing printing logic for applications. You can debug your code without the need for a real printer. You can avoid wasting a lot of paper. You can use your favorite TIFF file viewer to zoom in on the printout to get print positions tuned to precise pixels. You can develop your printing code while traveling on an airplane or living in a hotel with your notebook PC.

You can intercept pages from any Windows application and perform any kind of image processing, indexing, or print redirection you like. For example, you can stamp any document the user prints with the name of the user, the user's signature, or date/time before sending the printout to a real printer.

Great possibilities for building document management systems!

This full source code for this product is also available. This includes the entire source code for the driver and the TIFF library that it uses to create the TIF file. From this code base, the possibilities are quite limitless. All code is written using Microsoft development tools, including Visual C++ V6.0.

The demo version of the driver displays a dialog box for each print job but is otherwise the same as the registered version.
