HP Lego
HP Lego consists of four distinct modules: HP-DOT4 Kernel Mode, HP-CIO User Mode, HP-DustDevil and HP Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor.
HP-DOT4 Kernel Mode deals with the core Windows kernel mode drivers that facilitate operations of printers based on IEEE 1284.4 protocol. All the direct connect port services based on IEEE 1284.4 protocol is handled by the HP-DOT4 Kernel Mode components and their installation is handled by specially authored INF files for various HP printers. HP Converged Input-Output (HP-CIO) User Mode deals with a collection of Windows service based libraries and Run Time Libraries that facilitate the access to the services. These HP-CIO User Mode components facilitate the Printer object querying from the Printer Drivers or other interested applications to the actual Printers on various connection means – both direct and network. This module has its own SNMP implementation which is responsible for PML to SNMP mapping for Printer object queries over network.
HP-DustDevil consists of COM based libraries that facilitates bi-directional communication between the Printer Drivers or other interested applications and the actual physical Printer. HP-DustDevil provides well known interfaces and function implementation for HP Printer Drivers to perform bi-directional Printer object querying to obtain various status and settings from the physical Printers. This provides the luxury for the Printer Drivers to be agnostic of the connection mechanism. HP-DustDevil binaries handle the actual communication to the printer directly or via HP-CIO User Mode binaries in the cases of network Printers. HP-DustDevil supports both HP Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor and Microsoft Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor port types for bi-directional communication over network.
HP Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor (HP-SPM) is a faster, scalable, bi-directional implementation that provides all the services provided by Microsoft Standard TCP/IP Port Monitor along with specialized implementation on IPv6 and Device Re-discovery. It uses TCP/IP as the transport protocol and employs SNMP for Printer status monitoring and configuration. Most HP Printer Drivers prefer to be installed on HP-SPM ports for its beneficial features like device re-discovery, by which the Printer is always available for the Printer Driver to print files, even if the IP address of the Printer changes. HP-SPM has its own implementation to support IPv6 port types and management of the same. HP-SPM supports numerous locales for its User Interfaces.

CodeLIB
This is an internship project done as part of the curriculum during the Masters of Computer Applications degree.
CodeLIB is a generic code repository application, by which users can warehouse their code and use the same for other projects. The application allows the user to store the code along with its description and keywords / tags for searching. This can also be plugged in to the Microsoft VC++ 6.0 IDE as an Add-in, by which the user can use CodeLIB with the development IDE and warehouse the code with minimum number of clicks. Efficient data storage and retrieval mechanism is implemented for enhancing the software’s performance. XML files are used for data storage. It also provides an easy-to-use User Interface for browsing through the various entries to retrieve the stored code. The UI also has facilities like – toolbars for quick usage; options for emailing a topic; locating the currently displayed code in a tree view; most recently viewed topics and maintaining a favorites section for quick & easy reference.
