I want to develop a virtual printer, can anybody tell me where can I
find an existing open source virtual printer project? or Can anybody
tell me how to develop virtual printer? and how about use of python?
In order to appear as a normal printer, you have to develop a printer driver. That's going to require the use of the DDK, the Driver Development Kit. You can get this from Microsoft for just shipping and handling (about US$20). It includes all of the compilers, include files, and libraries you would need. It also includes a number of sample drivers.
Drivers cannot be written in Python. The device driver interfaces are all C-style APIs.
(Well, theoretically, I supposed you could write a C DLL that thunked to a Python service, but that would be more trouble than writing it in C or C++ to begin with.)
