I'm working on som printing code that doesn't behave correctly when used against certain HP drivers. The PrintDlgEx structure will actually come back empty in some cases when a printer is selected. We can duplicate the behavior in a simple test program that has allowed us to track it back to the printer being selected (in this case a M...

NMAKE complains that it does no...
I am looking for a device that reads wiring voltages via a USB interface and returns the data. How would I go about programming something to interpret this data and what language would I use? edit: If it helps, this project is to develop a digital tachometre for older engines that don't support a comprehensive ODB2 data port. Therefore,...

Hi, I have an Oracle server (version 9, I believe) and a MS SQL server (version 2000). The MS SQL server is running MS Windows Server 2003. I would like to use DTS to extract some data from the Oracle server and pour it into the MS SQL server. I'm having problems finding out what driver I should install on my MS SQL server for it to b...
The target driver im building is not a native driver but a minidriver working with Microsoft Universal Pinter Driver According to DDK: Descriptions of these items [fonts in my case] are placed in a resource DLL, as described in the Platform SDK documentation. It then goes on to say: In the printer's resource DLL, specify ...

How do I find if the Oracle drivers installed on a system (64 bit Windows 2003 Server) are 32 bit or 64 bit? And how do I even know if they are installed? Is there a particular location where I can check it? PS - I saw the Q here, but is there an easier way? ...
I need to test a JDBC connection to a database. The java code to do that should be as simple as: DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc connection URL", "username", "password"); The driver manager will lookup the appropriate the driver for the given connection URL. However I need to be able to load the JDBC driver (jar) at runtime. I.e I d...
Is there a USB HID pen driver in Windows Vista? If so, what are the requirements for USB descriptors, in order to make Windows Vista recognize the pen and load the pen driver? What I'm searching for is the pen equivalent to the HID mouse driver, HID keyboard driver and mass storage driver. The mentioned example drivers makes it possibl...
is there a reason why most function definition in device driver in linux code is defined as static？ is there a reason for this? I was told this is for scoping and to prevent namespace pollution, could anyone explain it in detail why static definition is used in this context? ...
I have a mac with a custom PHP 5 install that built from about a year ago. I remember it took all Sunday and I had to compile about 20 times to get it right. The MySQL I have is from entropy and was precompiled. Now I need to get PDO with the MySQL driver working and the driver is not installed. I tried the "pecl install pdo_mysql" and ...
Well, kind of tricky question... we want to create a physical memory buffer, to be shared between driver and application, on WCE6. on CE5, we just allocated physical memory and mapped it to virtual memory both on driver and application, and it works like a charm. however on WCE6, due to new security scheme, you cannot map physical memory...
How can I determine how much memory each device driver is consuming? I'm assuming this can be done with some Win32 or .NET API, but I just haven't been able to determine which. ...
I'm developing a Linux driver loadable module and I have to use another device in my driver.(kind of driver stacked on another driver) How do I call/use another driver in my driver? I think they are both in the kernel so there might be a way that can use another driver directly. ...
My friend is working on a project in which he needs to get some digital signals into a computer to display/manipulate them. So I advised him to insert those signals into a USB port due to it's popularity (because the device (which outputs the signals) and the program used for display and manipulation should both be designed for real wor...
I need to handle direct I/O to a parallel port in a better way that we are doing it at the moment - presently we use a kernel driver that 'opens up' useable addresses using the I/O protection map. This works ok but is getting more and more left behind. We still wish to continue using a parallel port and there are very satisfactory parall...
I want to install a driver for Ext2 partitions under Windows XP, the installation will be done with a self written Inno Setup script. Which API functions do I need to call for this? From what I googled so far I don't seem to be needing an inf file, and therefore no call to SetupCopyOEMInf. But I don't know what to do instead... Please e...
Hi!, I want to write a driver (in c) that can "catch" the events for reading and writing on hard disk. My problem is that I do not know how can I listen the system bus to treat these events. I use Microsoft DDK. Thank you! ...
Hi there, I'm developing an OS X kernel extension (kext) that will be used as an I/O Kit driver. This driver, however, will be strictly "virtual"; it will not interface with any hardware. OS X keeps a catalog (I/O Catalog) of all the drivers that are loaded into the kernel. It also keeps a registry (I/O Registry) containing the I/O Cat...
