ES Image Printer Driver is a software printer driver that is accessible from any program that can utilize a Windows printer. Images are produced from the driver and stored on a specified drive and location with incremental numbers.

The driver is capable of printing 24-bit color images, as well as 1-bit black and white (binary) at 100, 200, 300, and 600 DPI either portrait or landscape. It is flexible and supports several image file formats such as PNG, BMP, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, JPEG 2000, and PDF. In addition to capturing print jobs, the driver also has an optional clipboard monitoring tool that can intercept copying an image to the clipboard.

ES Image Printer Driver (Home) is a tool that helps you to utilize windows printer.

The user is then presented with a dialog to choose whether to treat the image as a print or ignore it. Common uses for the driver are in conjunction with document imaging systems, testing environments, help with troubleshooting, screenshot capture sharing, etc. An online installer for Java 1.5 is also included (Java 1.4+ is required for usage).
