Abstract
Technology described herein is directed to converting display-rendering instructions (e.g., DIRECT2D) into print-rendering instructions (e.g., EMF, WMF, XPS, and SVG). For example, a request to print an item (e.g., document) is received, the item being displayable on an output device when display-rendering instructions are executed. A print render target is created that includes an instructions converter. The display-rendering instructions are routed to the print render target. The instructions converter maps the display-rendering instructions to the print-rendering instructions, which are usable to print the item.
