Abstract

See full text

An interface module mediates between a printer driver and at least one add-on module, allowing the printer driver to call at least one add-on module via the interface module. One or more add-on modules are registered with the interface module, independent from the printer driver. One or more add-on modules may modify the user interface presented by the printer driver. As a print stream passes through the printer driver, one or more add-on modules may add data to the print stream at one or more access points. In this way, the interface module allows for greater control over the print stream and the user interface.
