通过以上几篇的说明，我想大家一定会开发自己的虚拟打印了。但是，我们开发出来的虚拟打印又如何安装到系统中呢？这次我就来写一下如何将我们编写的虚拟打印安装到系统中。

我们知道，当我们使用“开始”-》“设置”-》“打印机和传真”-》“添加打印机”会出现安装打印机向导。

当运行到“安装打印机软件”的时候，在右下角有一个“从磁盘安装”按钮。如果我们点击了这个按钮，系统会弹出一个让我们选择INI文件的界面。

好了，既然这样，我们就可以编写或者改造一个自己的打印机安装INI文件。

首先，我们去网上随便下载一个打印机驱动安装包，并将我们自己编写的genprint.dll拷入。然后编写我们的INI文件。（以下是我写好的一个INI文件，我使用的是一款HP的打印机驱动）。

; file, unless there is an explicit DriverFile section listed.
;
; Note: Pulling HPLJ4.GPD via Needs= directive to get pcl5eres.dll from XP 
;       drivers.cab file due to XP defect whereby this file wasn't listed
;       This also takes care of pjlmon.dll, ttfsub.gpd, UNIDRV sections
;       but unavoidably brings with it the unneeded hplj4.gpd file. 
;       
;   In the case of the LJ4 install does Needs=HPLJ4.GPD overwrite the 
;   just copied newer version of hplj4.gpd??? In this case perhaps, use
;   Needs=HPLJ4L.GPD to avoid this issue?

; individual files).

虚拟打印="虚拟打印"

这样就写好了一个打印机的安装INI文件。当你使用这个虚拟打印打印东西的时候，系统就会调用我们的genprint.dll，但是如何调用Print_Dll.dll和SetPrint.dll呢？我想只要有编写DLL经验的朋友都知道，将这两个Dll放到系统的SYSTEM32目录下，就可以被我们的genprint.dll来进行调用了。

 

好了至此，我将如何编写一个虚拟打印的完整过程都已经写出来了。希望对编写虚拟打印的朋友有一点帮助。
