How do plot drivers work?

Hello,
I was wondering how software like Notepad sends files
to be printed to different printers e.g. local and network
printers. Can I write c++ code or is there a component
available to enable me to send data to a network printer?

This is all handled by the operating system. What your program does is

use the API functions, indicating which printer to use and the OS does
the rest for you...
