Dll file

[mickey mouse]

When writing say a word document and you decide to print it, then word
needs to call a .dll file to enable the file to print to the printer.

Anybody know which .dll is called and it's location?

The location is I suspect the system32 folder.

Typical answers I would expect from some ill-informed people.
The question came up at a lecture on computing regarding the purpose and
functionality of .DLL files.

Answering with, Minnie? and LOL only shows disrespect for my question and
the fact that you don't know the answer. From a person wishing to learn and
understand the operating system (XP Pro) I find this sad.
Perhaps if I ask the question again I might get an answer from a
knowledgeable
MVP wishing to share some knowledge.

When typing in MS Word and you hit the print button, what initiates the
function
of printing? I'm told a DLL file is called, which activates the process of
printing.
If so, then which .DLL handles this operation?

If you *truly* want to learn all this stuff, start by doing some of your own
research, and with a good bookstore, and some definitive Google searches.

Hi Mr Mouse,
No one taking the Mickey on you here lol
Your questions rather seem to be beyond this NG if not all MS NGs!

If you want to know this process you need to understand the Ins and Outs of
the many Printer drivers makers out there. You need to be a programmer to
understand the structurer of the whole procedure and how it is acomplished in
each phase of the printing procedure.

But here some info it may help, read, digest and spot the stage which you
want to understand the most about it and what happen in this stage of
printing.
Good luck.

Cranky-assed old fart. Miss your morning bowel movement today did
you?

How are you NOT an "ill-informed" person here?

To submit a document for printing, the application communicates with the
client side of the spooler (Winspool.drv). Winspool.drv makes an RPC
connection to the server side of the spooler (Spoolsv.exe), which makes
a direct API call to the print router (spoolss.dll), which is also on
the server side of the spooler. The print router passes the print job to
the local print provider.

Thanks nass, very helpful.
I don't need the ins and outs of it, just the dll name.

Appearances can be important. Call yourself Mickey Mouse and you must expect
less than serious responses. Adopt a more sensible name and you will get
more considered answers to your questions.
