Detailed Description

This library deals with documents and does the hard job to raster them and forwards the result to the printer driver. The printer driver can control the rasterization on a per page base and thus, can control various aspects of the result.

This library hides some details of the whole process and communication with the printing coordinator. But not all. You still need to use various other libraries from the CAPS universe to create a full function printing provider.

A library which hides more of these details and thus, let you focus on your printer driver is libcapsdriver.
