Question

Hello,
I am developing PrinterExtension for v4 driver which we are going to include in V4 driver package.
I would like to enable the same binary of PrinterExtension to work with multiple printer driver Ids.
The comment in the new PrinterExtensionSample recommends to pass the driver id as a command line argument to enable one application binary to work with multiple printer driver ids. However specifying command-line argument is unsupported for the case of printer extension embedded into driver package.
What is the recommended way to pass DriverId to Printer Extension in this case?

Hi Kondakovdmitry,
This is a known limitation. We have a bug open and are investigating whether we can make a fix for Windows 8.
Thanks!
Justin

Hello Justin!
Thank you for the answer, I will wait for your solution, if you come up with any.
Meanwhile, as a workaround I will make Printer Extension extract PrinterDriverID from the *-manifest.ini file, if it finds any beside it's own EXE file.
Best regards,
Dmitry.
