摘要： A system is provided for supporting multiple platforms with common personal preferences for printer drivers. The set preferences for the printer driver are therefore reusable and may be moved from one driver to another. The system involves the provision of a common format for printer driver preferences. When a new printer is brought to a system or a user moves to a station that uses a different printer, the preferences are readily moved to that location. Further, an MIS department may provide a corporate wide printer preference solution, for example for printing a particular page or printing in a particular style. The preferences may not be identical for each printer due to differences in the capabilities of various platforms. The printer preferences overwrite a default value in printers with preferences, to the extent that each printer has the options available. To the extent that these options are not available, the printer reverts to its default setting.

摘要： A method for dynamically managing printers comprises a mechanism for printing from a network of printers that belong to a virtual printer group to meet the user's request for printing. The invention does this by requesting an options and capabilities file from each printer and then generating a virtual printer group, such that when a user wants to print a file, the invention looks for the best suited printer for the user and sends a file to that printer for printing. The invention has the capability to keep track of each printer's printing capabilities dynamically and to communicate to the user about the status of printing and printer location, and of informing a system administrator for manual intervention should the need arise.

摘要： A variable data print job system that reduces the master and variable jobs into a single job sent from the client to the printer that does not require indefinite disk storage on the printer. The first part of the job contains the master data pages and the second part of the job contains the variable data. The print job is assembled and sent to the printer which detects that the job is a two part job. It places the master data in the page buffer and copies it to another area of the page buffer so as a page of the variable data can be overlaid onto the page buffer and is then sent to the print engine for printing.

摘要翻译： 一种可变数据打印作业系统，可将主作业和可变作业缩减为从客户端发送到打印机的单个作业，而不需要打印机上的无限存储。 作业的第一部分包含主数据页面，作业的第二部分包含可变数据。 打印作业被组装并发送到打印机，该打印机检测作业是两部分作业。 它将主数据放入页面缓冲区，并将其复制到页面缓冲区的另一个区域，以便可变页数据的页面可以叠加到页面缓冲区，然后发送到打印引擎进行打印。
