    RFC : Presentation on printing

    Hi

    An early draft of a presentation I am hoping to give on printing in .NET is attached. Any comments (one way or another) to help me improve it?

    Thanks in advance

    You state

    In Vista there are actually two OS provided spoolfile languages - EMF (for backwards compatibility and manufacturers too lazy to rewrite printer drivers) and XPS.

    If I get the final part of the associated software working in time (which is why the article trails off at the end - I'm still coding the XPS demo part...)
