How To Debug a Print Driver with 32-bit Application

This article was previously published under Q141162

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.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Windows 95 Driver Development Kit (DDK)
  • Microsoft Windows 98 Driver Development Kit (DDK)
  • Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition Driver Development Kit

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
