Custom Microsoft Windows Printer Drivers

We develop custom Windows drivers to meet the unique needs of our clients.

Universal Printer Driver

The Universal Printer Driver is Microsoft's standard printer driver for non-PostScript printers.

XPS Printer Driver

The XPS Printer Driver is an enhanced, GDI-based Version 3 printer driver that was used prior to Windows Vista. XPSDrv printer drivers (like the GDI-based ones) consist of three main components.

V4 Printer Driver

The v4 printer driver model is a refinement to the v3 printer driver model, and it was designed to reduce IT management costs, support .NET UWP apps, and support custom print scenarios such as watermarking, n-up printing, and page reordering.

Monolithic Printer Driver

Custom printer drivers where GDI and user interface functions are handled by the printer driver. Monolithic printer drivers provide a level of printing functionality not available to the minidriver based printer drivers.

Language Monitors

Provide bidirectional error checking with the physical printer. Language monitors act as a mediator between the Windows spooler and the Port Monitor.

Port Monitors

Communicate with the physical printer by sending the contents of a spooled job to the printer via the printer's command set.

Operating Systems

All Microsoft Windows operating systems are supported going back to Windows 2000.

Communication Protocols

Any communication protocol can be supported through custom printer drivers. Common protocols include USB, Ethernet, parallel, and serial.

Custom Apple macOS Printer Drivers

Our custom printer drivers are fully compatible with the macOS operating system and support Apple specific features such as AirPrint, custom property pages, and printer presets.

CUPS Printer Driver

CUPS is a standards-based, open source printing system developed by Apple for macOS and other UNIX-like operating systems. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") and provides System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces, a web interface, and a C API to manage printers and print jobs. Our CUPS Printer Drivers support all features of the CUPS standard including macOS UI plugins for setting custom printing preferences.

Printer Browsers

Enable printers to be discovered through local and network connections.

Render Modules

Used by the printing system to convert the graphics content in a print job for output to a specific printer or family of printers.

Printer Filters

Used by the printing system to communicate with a printer using a standard transport-layer interface, such as USB or TCP/IP.

Printing Dialog Extensions

Provide a way for people to view and change the settings for a set of related printing features. The user interface of a printing dialog extension is a pane in one of the printing dialogs.

Maintenance Utilities

Programs to perform utility tasks such as observing the ink/toner levels, cleaning and/or aligning print heads, etc.

Operating Systems

All Apple macOS operating systems are supported going back to OS X 10.3 (Panther). Common macOS releases include 10.3 Panther, 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.10 Yosemite, 10.11 El Capitan, 10.12 Sierra, 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, 10.15 Catalina, 11 Big Sur, 12 Monterey, and 13 Ventura.

Communication Protocols

Any communication protocol can be supported through custom printer drivers. Common protocols include USB, Ethernet, parallel, and serial.

Custom Linux Printer Drivers

We develop custom Linux printer drivers that are compatible with most CPU architectures including Intel, ARM, MIPS, and RISC-V.

CUPS Printer Driver

CUPS is a standards-based, open source printing system developed by Apple for macOS and other UNIX-like operating systems. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") and provides System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces, a web interface, and a C API to manage printers and print jobs. Our CUPS Printer Drivers support all features of the CUPS standard on Linux.

Render Modules

Used by the printing system to convert device-independent page description language (PDL) from standard input into the (model-dependent) PDL of the printer on standard output.

Printer Filters

Used by the printing system to communicate with a printer using a standard transport-layer interface, such as USB or TCP/IP.

Maintenance Utilities

Programs to perform utility tasks such as observing the ink/toner levels, cleaning and/or aligning print heads, etc.

Operating Systems

All Linux distributions are supported on Intel and ARM processors. Common supported Linux distributions include Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Mandiva, and SUSE.

Communication Protocols

Any communication protocol can be supported through custom printer drivers. Common protocols include USB, Ethernet, parallel, and serial.

Virtual Printer Drivers

A Virtual Printer Driver is a special driver that does not connect to a physical printer but renders documents in any file format which can can be saved to disk or spooled to another printer driver for printing by that manufacturer's driver.

Benefits

Virtual Printer Drivers can add document features that are not supported by existing printer drivers. Enhanced features include custom watermarking, n-up printing, content removal and alteration, email support and resource costing.

Operating Systems

All modern operating systems are supported by our Virtual Printer Drivers.

Cloud Printing to Local Print Resources

Gain full control of the print process from mobile and web applications to the local print resources.

Benefits

Offering robust mobile and cloud-based printing solutions are no longer dependent on browser plugins. Print to local resources as if the device was on a local desktop computer.

Features

• Full access to local print resources from mobile and web apps
• Full access to local biometric resources such as IC encoders and mag stripe encoders
• Authenticated access to local print resources
• Robust error tracking and logging
• Resource utilization and supply tracking
