DICOM Printer Driver 2.0

DICOM Printer Driver is a virtual printer that converts anything you can print—documents, images, and screenshots—into DICOM objects that can be sent directly to PACS, VNAs, or other DICOM endpoints. It bridges non‑DICOM applications with medical imaging workflows by packaging printed content as standards‑compliant DICOM Secondary Capture images or Encapsulated PDFs, complete with patient and study metadata.

Highlights:

• Print-to-DICOM from any application: create Secondary Capture or Encapsulated PDF studies
• Patient/study metadata entry with templates; optional DICOM Modality Worklist lookup
• Secure transmission via DICOM C-STORE, with support for multiple destinations (AE Titles) and routing rules
• Image/layout controls: page size, resolution, color/monochrome, compression, and burn‑in annotations
• Job queue with retry, offline spooling, and detailed audit logs for compliance
• Centralized configuration for departments; supports multi-user workstations and remote desktops
• Optional support for DICOM Print Management to hardcopy film imagers (where applicable)

Typical use cases include archiving referrals and consent forms, attaching external reports to imaging studies, preserving screenshots from specialized clinical software, and standardizing documentation across radiology, cardiology, dentistry, pathology, and other departments.

Note: This tool is intended for workflow integration and documentation, not for primary diagnostic image acquisition. Actual features and compatibility may vary by build and environment.
