### About This Book

The Printer Device Driver Reference for OS/2 describes the printer and plotter presentation drivers as well as test tools that correspond to the source code that is supplied with the IBM Developer Connection Device Driver Kit for OS/2.

This reference also provides a roadmap to the drivers and briefly describes their functions and modules. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the Presentation Driver Reference. For additional information about graphics-engine functions and presentation drivers, see the Presentation Driver Reference.

Programmers can use the information found in this book to create printer drivers and tests as well as to test their drivers. Knowledge of C and Assembler programming languages is necessary. The programmer must be familiar with the the OS/2 operating system, the Presentation Manager interface, and 80X86 architecture. The programming concepts that should be understood before developing applications to run on the OS/2 system can be found in the Application Design Guide.
