'GDI' is not a hardware protocol, the hardware protocols of GDI printers can be completely different, even between models of the same manufacturer. For Windows users this is no problem, as every printer comes with a driver CD containing a driver exactly for the particular printer. The name of this driver is very confusing, it is not a driver for all GDI printers, it only works with the so-called 'SmartGDI' or 'PrinThru' printers of Samsung. The original driver published under the GPL by Samsung some years ago has a bug which prevents some files from being printed.

The topics in this section describe Graphics Device Interface (GDI) and its relationship to printer drivers and display adapter drivers. Display adapter drivers that run on Windows Vista can adhere to one of two models: the Windows Vista display driver model or the Windows 2000 display driver model.

Gdi Driver Download For Windows 10 Pro

GDI automatically enables DirectDraw when the display driver is initialized. To provide better interaction between DirectDraw and the graphics DDI portion of the driver, a driver that also supports the DirectDraw DDI can implement or call the following functions:

Microsoft Gdi

DrvDeriveSurface
A driver-implemented function that wraps a GDI driver surface around a DirectDraw driver surface, allowing any GDI drawing to DirectDraw video memory or AGP surfaces to be hardware accelerated (rather than being drawn in software via the DIB engine). Typically, if the driver already supports off-screen device bitmaps, this function should require only a few additional lines of code.

DrvDeriveSurface improves the performance of DirectDraw applications that also use GDI, and it also eliminates cursor flicker when a software cursor is used with DirectDraw or Direct3D applications.

HeapVidMemAllocAligned and VidMemFree

Driver-called functions that use the DirectDraw heap manager for all off-screen memory management. DrvCreateDeviceBitmap should call HeapVidMemAllocAligned to request DirectDraw to allocate space for GDI bitmaps; DrvDeleteDeviceBitmap should call VidMemFree to free this allocation.

DirectDraw has priority over the graphics DDI portion of the driver for off-screen memory allocation. The driver should hook the DirectDraw DdFreeDriverMemory callback, which allows the driver to remove GDI surfaces from off-screen memory to make space for higher priority DirectDraw surface allocations.

Both HeapVidMemAllocAligned and VidMemFree are declared in dmemmgr.h, which ships with the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). A driver might have to define __NTDDKCOMP__ before including this header file.
