Customizing/Internationalizing the Printer Driver User Interface

 

The Black Ice printer drivers have the most extensive feature set and user interface on the market to satisfy a wide range of requirements. Many of the features are exotic and most users may not need some features such as watermarks, annotations and different TIFF file options. There are several ways to simplify the user interface and they will be discussed below in detail.

In most cases, the developer would like their end users to use the Black Ice printer driver, which is integrated into their product, as simply as possible and only use the features they need. The Black Ice Printer Drivers include several methods of restricting access to specific controls and functionality as desired by the developer. These methods include:

Printer driver Redistribution resource files

Hiding the user interface tabs

Change user interface

Resource DLL Source Code

Internationalization

Add/remove paper formats

Hide unused file formats

Changing Default Setting of the Printer Driver
