Above my head, but it sounds interesting. Scanners would be a neat topic as well in that vein... On Friday 06 December 2002 9:58 pm, Andy Stewart wrote:
HI everybody,
If it were possible for me to get a person to speak to WLUG regarding printers and printer drivers, would that be of interest? (Hint: say "yes").
I'm thinking of a programmer's talk here, not a user level talk.
For example, what does the skeleton of a printer driver look like?
What functions must it provide to user level software, and what does it pass to a queueing system or perhaps directly to the printer?
How are JPG pictures converted to dots of ink that appear on your printer paper?
What's the deal with these different dithering algorithms? What is dithering, and why do it?
These are just some ideas to get the creative juices flowing. Let me know what topics in this realm would be of interest at a future WLUG meeting.
Once I have that information, I'll see if I can find a speaker to address these topics.
Thanks,
Andy
