Small NY-based company looking for project/contract. C++ and Windows Driver Development Kit experience is likely required. Create a Windows PDF printer that will print files to a directory based on logged in user and specified in a configuration file. The output filename must be unique and never overwrite and have a .pdf extension. If no valid configuration is found and loaded, the "printer" should show "not Ready". It shall open the configuration dialog (see below) with "printer properties..." An accompanying windows dialog/application used to specify the configuration is required. If the output director(ies) do not exist, create the director(ies). The output directory for each user must be unique. (no two users can have the same output folder) This will be used in a Remote Desktop Connection session, so it must be clear that the output documents are saved to the location specific to that user. Third party components are allowed if the components may be distributed and packaged royalty-free in perpetuity within a commercial product, and the total cost of all third-party component licensing does not exceed $1500 US. The virtual print driver must work with any software that allows printing. Any existing software must work with the virtual printer as it would any actual print driver. including but not limited to MS Office, Office Libre/Open Office, Adobe products (Photoshop, acrobat, etc.), web browsers (Edge, Chrome Installation files, settings, registry entries and instructions must be included. Must be compatible with Windows Server 2012 and later (all editions). In essence, this should work like the "Microsoft Print To PDF" virtual printer, but without prompt to specifying a location each time a document is printed.

Hi there. I may have a simple, more cost effective solution for you. I am examining the proposed solution and ask for 2 days to ensure it meets your requirements. If your requirements are as simple as I presume them to be (unless you want an actual driver written) this may be the way to go. Regards Maurice Marinus

Hello, my name is Michael. I would enjoy working with you on your virtual printer driver project. To give you a little background, I have been a Senior Engineer for over 18 years in the Communications industry, Telecommunications Industry, and Cable Industry. I know my way around code and scripts especially at the lower driver levels. I think a good starting point for your project would be the Sample Microsoft Code that prints to a PDF and also the open source project Redmon. I would start looking at these to get a few ideas, if My bid was selected, and then build a customized virtual driver with your additional requirements. I have the ability to test the driver on many different platforms including 2012 server. I would enjoy the opportunity to work with you on this project. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me should you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to hearing back from you. -Michael
