Hi,
I need to provide printing support on pocket PC. I understand that there is
no printing support on Pocket PC by default. The link between printer and
pocket pc is going to be wifi, bluetooth or IrDA. I also need to provide
print preview type of functionality for image and doc files.
Could anyone guide me in the right direction, like how to approach this. I
think I need to develop a printer driver and an application which would
connect with the printer and send the data to it. How to provide print
preview support. I think there is no direct api available.
Also, this printer driver, Is it a monolithic driver or layered, I saw some
printer releted files in the public folder, so I guess it is layered driver.
from there I guess I need a PDD also.
I dont have any info about the hardware or which BSP to use right now.
Please suggest how to approach this.

You need more than a printer driver. You need to create your own printing
API support. There's a whole bunch of printing support that goes on top of a
printer driver, which is not included in Windows Mobile devices.
