The Microsoft Windows printing architecture consists of a print spooler and a set of printer drivers. By calling device-independent Win32 printing and Graphics Device Interface (GDI) functions, applications can create print jobs and send them to any of a variety of devices, including laser printers, vector plotters, raster printers, and fax machines. Printer drivers include a User Interface (UI) component that allows users to control a printer's selectable options. The printer drivers that a person selects to run on the Windows 2003 print server can have a great impact on its performance, reliability, and scalability.
