Unidrv

<p>UniDrv (Universal Printer Driver or Unidriver) is a <a href="/facts/Graphics_Device_Interface/C8yuXxtL">GDI</a>-based <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Windows/bwhAhuSL">Microsoft Windows</a> universal <a href="/facts/Computer_printer/PnDF2QuF">printer</a> <a href="/facts/Printer_driver/SSA9Lrre">driver</a> and architecture for non-<a href="/facts/PostScript/h2XwbcmC">PostScript</a> printers. It is used to simplify driver development of non-PostScript printers (also called <a href="/facts/Winprinter/C8yuXxtL">Winprinters</a>) for printer manufacturers. <i>Unidrv</i> allows the creation of a printer-specific minidriver in the form of a GPD (Generic Printer Description) file, similar to a <a href="/facts/PostScript_Printer_Description/75UrhEMn">PPD</a> file, which is much simpler than <a href="/facts/Kernel_mode/27y4kjHs">kernel mode</a> driver development. Unidrv was introduced in <a href="/facts/Windows_2000/amJIt9gz">Windows 2000</a> and replaced the Raster Device Driver (RASDD) interface used in <a href="/facts/Windows_NT_4.0/EcKYxrkx">Windows NT 4.0</a> and earlier versions.
