I have found a way to add true print to .PDF  to printer support.
Plugin for this virtual PDF printer http://www.go2pdf.com/product.html :

P.S.: Sorry, I have just realized that this "free" app is useless, it adds a line to every page asking to buy the paid version.

Hi Oscar,

See codes at Win10PESE\Utils\"SFX Constructor" Plugin  :wink:


*
In old days ( XP/2003 ) , I was installing GhostScript and a free pdf printer that requires GhostScript (when I was using WinTex ... , good old fun days when math is very fun ... )

Just quick search internet (not tested)
http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php
See Link:
Download lightweight Ghostscript distribution here (21.3 MB)

http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/bullzip_biopdf_difference.php
-->
http://www.biopdf.com/

As far as I can remember, Free PDF printers use Ghostscript
Commercial ones use their own way.

Read here to figure out the reason behind: http://www.biopdf.com/redistribution.php

Shortly:
Create a 1st Plugin for Ghostscript (light weight link may help , not tested)
2nd Plugin for a free PDF writer that use Ghostscript (and write Plugin UI - "Requires GhostScript"
 :great:

OR
If you are lucky and find a pdf printer that does not need Ghostscript let us know.  :xmas-beer:

:turtle:

Hi

Surely, since slore has already proved the Win10 built-in 'Print to Pdf' works, it's only a matter of time before we can get it to work in other projects

Hi

Surely, I use WimBuilder since 2 years now http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2390
 It is also good and has some advantages to get things to work with 3rd party out of ms  :wink:

Apart from VirtualPDFprinter the only other one that works is CUtePDF and it needs Ghotscript.

Well, if we are giving thanks, then dont forget to add noelBlanc to the list for his considerable contributions as well, albeit a while ago initially :thumbsup:

 :thumbsup: You mentioned the right man who is the most important on the printer feature.

albeit a while ago initially
NO, not the initial time, but now.
The very important key to make v1903 and later version PE can use the printers is found by noelBlanc recently.
I just do some test and identity the smallest file/reg items, convert noelBlanc's research result to code --- write a batch script to make it be added easily with WimBuilder2.
Like James convert it to be a XPE plugin.

Without noelBlanc, my patch won't be existed.

Well, I'm well aware of that. I was pointing out to others that, Noel's excellent work started a while back so that it wouldn't be overlooked

Hi APT,

Good People give credit where credit is due, See:

Win10PESE\Drivers\"MTP Support" Plugin
Gena\Basic\Shells\FineTune\"Logon" Plugin with "GenaPedia" button

WimBuilder\Customize\"Components" Patch ---> MTP --> \01-Components\MTP_Support\readme.txt

We are not kind of people who fabricate incompatibility or fabricate fake excuse to do opposite (post games),
 but such people always exist, 9 years ago and later ....  :wink:
  It is always a pleasure to me get such post gamers to eat their own food.  :horse:
    One of the main reasons when creating the current http://TheOven.org forum ~9 years ago.

@noelBlanc

Thanks for all info on your page,
I always read your posts on your topic  :thumbsup: http://TheOven.org/index.php?topic=1639

Hi,
Because I don't understand a word of English, I can't interfere in your discussions. I use an online translator but it's still approximate translations.
Also, I admitted that I had to stay in the shadows ( behind the curtain of the scene) , although this is sometimes a little frustrating.
It is a pleasure to read to you, however. :smiling9:
Thank you all and happy Christmas

Salut Noël,

Je pense pas que tu est derrière la scène du tout, j'ai appris beaucoup depuis 2010 avec tes Plugins et j'ai toujours trouver tes réponse intelligente et bien songées. Et tes manuels aussi sont excellents... Sérieusement ta contribution au projets est considérable mon ami. C'est sur que se serais vraiment plus aisé pour toi de pouvoir communiquer directement en Français, Mais l’outil que tu utilise pour tes traduction fait un assez bon travail pour qu'on puisse comprendre sans peine.

Laisse pas la frustration entacher ton esprit sur tout ce que tu as accomplis à date...

Au plaisir de te lire.

The Printer plugin now is working fine but for a 10 minutes delay in Devices and Printers .
Now after the 2 minutes timeout the fax pdf, and xps printers print fine, no to .prn as before, they appear in Device Manager as Print queues.
The Printers are kept in limbo in Device and Printers in the Unspecified category (box with a clock icons) for 10 minutes but then they are correctly recognized as Printers (fax pdf and xps printers icons appear)
