Abstract

See full text

A method of providing backward compatibility for a newer version of a page description language to a system comprising a computer and a printer coupled to the computer, where the printer is configured and arranged for operation with an earlier version of the page description language and has not been updated for the newer version of the page description language, includes providing an updated printer driver with a component that incorporates information about the printer to convert a file in the newer version of the page description language into a file in the earlier version of the page description language while substantially retaining a same visual appearance of the file when printed and compared to the file printed by a printer configured and arranged to print the file using the newer version of the page description language. The updated printer driver is stored on the computer.
