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
Duncan

I have just one question (I just finished reading your presentation)

You stateIn Windows NT, 2000 and XP the spool files can be in a special variant of the EMF (enhanced metafile format) or in the raw printer control language of the target device (such as PCL5, PCL6, PostScript or HP-GL for plotters.What about in Vista? Is it the same for that OS as it is for NT, 2000 and XP?

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

Are you gonna include that in your presentation?

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...)

(which is why the article trails off at the end - I'm still coding the XPS demo part...)Actually, I'm kind of glad you said this, because that was going to be my next question, but I was trying to figure out a delicate and polite way of putting it. :D
