Black Ice Software has released Printer Driver version 14.98, including new extended Message Capture events for developers! The new Message Capture events will pass the Printer Name, Job ID and input document name. This new feature allows developers to easily distinguish the printed documents by Job IDs, by the Printer Name or by input document name.

By using the new extended Message Capture events, developers can easily track the printed documents individually. This new feature in turn will provide better auditing and resource monitoring possibilities to see which printers are being used.

The new extended Message Capture events also can be very useful when one is using Parallel printer drivers with simultaneous printing. Developers can easily distinguish the printed documents by the Job ID, even if printing with Parallel printers simultaneously.

What is Message Capture and Messaging Interface?

Every Black Ice Printer Driver has a messaging interface. The printer driver can communicate with an application through the messaging interface. A custom application can capture and process the messages sent by the driver. The messaging interface is enabled by default and can be disabled through the API or through the user interface of the printer driver Printing Preferences.

For more information about the Messaging Interface, please refer to our online documentation.
