Debugging printer driver

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev (More info?)

Time to hire an expert to help.
This thing isn't easy to explain over the net. I find that Microsoft
document has some slight problems too. I am able to debug ISAPI.dll, printer
Dll, and kernel mode. The debugger is working fine. You should bug
Microsoft guys because they seemed to think too high of themselves, they
lacked the verification of their samples and documentation.
