How To Debug a Print Driver with 32-bit Application

ID: Q141162

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95 Driver Development Kit (DDK)

SUMMARY

To debug a print driver with a 32-bit application such as Write or Notepad, you have to use the Kernel debugger (WDEB386.EXE) shipped with Microsoft WIN32 SDK.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows 95 printer drivers are 16-bit DLLs. However, most of the applications shipped with the Windows 95 operating system are 32-bit. Codeview for Windows is not capable of loading a 32-bit application. However, you can use Codeview for Windows to debug the print driver along with a 16-bit application. For more information on how to use and set up Codeview or Kernel Debugger, please refer to the documentation available in the Windows SDK.
