Sending a printed document might be a possible solution Jason. Do you mean send
the spool file? As long as the release printer has the same driver then that
might work. A problem that i foresee is what if the drivers differ (PS or PCL
) . Can I maybe create a Passthrough driver that would be understood by both
printers.
I dont really have a problem with supporting just PS or PCL, but that means
when I send out the print driver it has to be a generic PS or PCL and wrap it
in an installer so as to make it easier on a client side

Hi Sam,
I have to agree with the other responses that if you want to “send
the document to a website” then a printer driver is not the way to go.
However, if you would accept sending a “printed document
to a website” then a printer driver plus port monitor might work but it
would send the printout (SPL or XPS file) to the website. But not the
original document.
Do you have any other requirements or limitations like the
applications that this has to work with? Are you thinking that a printer
driver is pretty universal so it might work? What about saving the
document to a “watched folder” on the computer and then uploading
those documents?

Hello Everyone
I am trying to develop a printer driver which will be installed on a client
side, what i need this driver to do is just save the path of documents sent to
it to a string and forward that string to an ASP.NET application which will
upload the document to a print server.
now i already have the upload client working so here is the scenario which the
printer will work on.
Document "X" is printed to a printer with the installed driver
(Printer "A")
Printer "A" will then get the path of the given document and save it
to string "Path", "Path" will then be sent to a Webpage
which will upload it.
I kept it as basic as possible because i just want to know if it could be done?
Regards
Sam
