It depends on how technical of an answer you want. Does it stop manufacture drivers? Yes, the universal driver is the only thing that interfaces with the printer hardware. However, print support apps (PSAs) are the new way to provide that functionality you speak of. They integrate directly into the print dialog box just like the older model, so the user doesn't see any difference at all*.
This is nothing new...this has been the preferred way to do print drivers for almost 8 years! The only thing changing here is that the older printer model drivers of the past are being deprecated.
I highly suspect that you yourself have installed a print support app described as a driver package from the manufacture's support page, had it work exactly as expected, without realizing it was using the universal IPP driver under the covers.
For example, USB keyboards have all used the generic HID driver for just about as long as they have existed, but that doesn't stop manufacture "drivers" from enabling more features.
*bit of a disclaimer: the PSA process doesn't require the user to see anything different, but in many cases the manufacture v1.0 PSA "drivers" were pretty basic and lacked the polish of their older V4 print model driver brothers.
its slower than ever. especially on mobile ios. really poor app. Slack is a million times better. shame the company i work for moved from Slack to teams few years back. was like moving from 2026 to windows ME.
Question
Joni_78
My JavaScript sends a selected path, for example C:\files to com ActiveX, I catch it on C# like this:
I then launch a program like this:
[ComVisible(true)]
public void LaunchPlayer()
{
Process.Start("wmplayer.exe", "ANYFOLDER");
}
[/CODE]
The problem is that how do I launch the program so that it uses the current value on myparam on "anyfolder"?
