Adding a Windows printer driver

When you use the Windows Driver Tool to create a printer driver (see The Windows Driver Tool) you create an option file and a driver file. To add the new printer driver to the device driver repository, you must use the Device Tool. In the Device Tool you create a new device driver, and then you add the option file and driver file to the new driver.
