Print Subsystem Changes

Windows 95 has a new print subsystem which supports the same Win32® APIs as are documented in the Windows NT® SDK and DDK, with the exception of forms support which is not in Windows 95.

The new print subsystem supports spooling enhanced metafiles (EMFs) which enables the print subsystem to return control to the application more quickly after the application spools a document. The new printer subsystem also supports other spooling formats for printer vendors who are willing to develop alternate subsystem components.

For detailed information about the new print subsystem features in Windows 95, see About the Print Spooler and the topics that are referred to there.
