Hi I want to print some tiff or eps through a large format printer. At first I need to convert it into supportable format then I should have a driver to passing that file to printer. My question is that, is that any method which can recognize the supported print file format or How can I check necessary parameter for file format? After this how can we make a driver for that printer? Any suggestion will be thankful.

When I've used a large format printer (with PhotoShop, for example), I've simply had the printer driver installed from the CD that came with the printer. After that, the printer itself is added (if it doesn't detect it already via Plug & Play) to the "Devices and Printers" list. From there the printer should appear in the printer dropdown boxes when you attempt to print. If you're writing code in VB.NET, the printer should appear in the collections list and you can go from there.

I would not jump lightly into attempting to "make" a printer driver yourself. If you don't have the CD that came with the printer, try the manufacturer's website.
