摘要： A method for dynamically augmenting printer drivers, by providing a GUI for selecting plug-in modules, and dynamically adding the selected plug-in modules. Addition and deletion of plug-in modules do not require uninstallation and reinstallation of the currently installed printer driver. Plug-in modules implement optional or model-specific functionalities, including feature sets, Page Description Languages (PDLs), and Renders. Settings for plug-in modules are stored in heap-allocated private devmode structures, which may be deallocated when plug-in modules are removed. Methods include copying DLL files to a printer system folder, checking compatibility of the plug-in DLL files, adding registry entries, plug-in module installing itself, adding GUI tabs, and downloading plug-in modules stored at a remote storage over the network. In an embodiment, registry entries are checked for any plug-in modules, and the corresponding DLL files are copied from a server to a client.

摘要： A method for ringtone, voice, and sound notification of printer status, comprising obtaining status information of a printer, converting it into an audible report, and delivering the audible report. The method is especially useful for visually-impaired users and for shared printers in crowded situations where it is difficult for each user to see the panel or monitor display. The methods also include detection by the events controller, UI manager instructing an audio manager, codec decoding an audio file in firmware and hardware organization; job owner identification information embedded into a print job with a unique tag; user identification sound data embedded in a print job; audible report for multiple jobs in a job queue, with positional information; text-to-speech conversion; unique ringtone melody for each user, comprising department prefix, higher pitch modulation for higher priority, and automatically converting an alphanumeric character into the corresponding note.

摘要翻译： 一种用于打印机状态的铃声，声音和声音通知的方法，包括获取打印机的状态信息，将其转换成可听报告，以及传送可听报告。 该方法对于视力受损的用户以及拥挤的情况下的共享打印机特别有用，其中每个用户难以看到面板或监视器显示。 该方法还包括事件控制器的检测，UI管理器指示音频管理器，解码固件和硬件组织中的音频文件的编解码器; 使用唯一标签嵌入到打印作业中的作业所有者识别信息; 嵌入在打印作业中的用户识别声音数据; 具有位置信息的作业队列中多个作业的可听报告; 文字转语音转换; 每个用户的独特铃声旋律，包括部门前缀，更高优先级的高音调制，以及自动将字母数字字符转换为相应的音符。

摘要： A system for printing to recycled paper sheets, by scanning a sheet for existing marks, comparing them with the intended output, and printing upon determining the suitability of printing the intended output to the sheet. When recycled paper is used for printing, the intended output is sometimes printed on the wrong side of the sheet, resulting in wasted paper, toner, and other resources. This system avoids printing to the wrong side of sheets, and enables adjustment of intended output for better result. Sheets can be reversed, rotated, and discarded, and the intended output can be adjusted by shrinking, moving, and rotating. Methods also include previewing the output and the existing marks together, low-resolution processing, printing shading patterns on existing marks, rearranging scaled-down pages of N-up printing, Duplex support, collision detection with user-customizable, threshold overlap value and separation distance, and estimating separation distance by boundary-augmentation of alternating 4- and 8-neighbors.

摘要翻译： 通过扫描纸张以获得现有标记，将其与预期输出进行比较，以及在确定将预期输出打印到纸张上的适合性时进行打印的系统。 当使用再生纸进行打印时，有时会将纸张打印出错误的一面，导致纸张，墨粉等资源浪费。 该系统避免打印到纸张的错误一面，并且可以调整预期的输出以获得更好的效果。 纸张可以反转，旋转和丢弃，并且可以通过收缩，移动和旋转来调整预期的输出。 方法还包括将输出和现有标记一起预览，低分辨率处理，现有标记上的打印阴影图案，重新排列N-up打印的缩小页面，双面支持，用户可自定义的碰撞检测，阈值重叠值和分离 距离，并通过交替的4-和8-邻居的边界增加来估计分离距离。
