Abstract

See full text

A generic printer driver is configured to receive a printer description upon selection of a printer. The printer description is incorporated into the generic printer driver, thereby creating a specialized printer driver. The specialized driver is then able to present printer-specific printing options to the user, and to format a print job using low-level printer-specific commands and information, thereby taking advantage of the entire functionality of the printer.
