摘要： In a described implementation, a production device, such as a computer, produces a shared resources container that includes shareable resources. Each resource of the shared resources container includes a part name and corresponding data. The production device downloads the shared resources container to a utilization device. The production device also formulates a job container, such as a print job. The production device analyzes resource usage of the job container during processing thereof. If a resource relevant to the job container is included in the shared resources container, the resource is excluded from the job container in lieu of a resource reference that is insert therefor. The production device also downloads the job container to the utilization device. At the utilization device, the job container is processed using the resource reference. Specifically, the resource reference is used to retrieve the associated resource from the shared resources container.

摘要： Strategies are described for processing job information using a multi-personality driver device. The driver device includes multiple selectable rendering modules for processing job information in the context of multiple selectable rendering paths. The driver device further contains a configuration module for selecting one of the rendering paths for a particular rendering scenario. The configuration module also exposes characteristics of various rendering paths, and facilitates the configuration of the rendering paths. The driver device uses a single rendering queue to allow applications to interact with all of the available rendering paths supported by the driver device.

摘要： A system and related techniques expose color printing resources to applications, utilities, operating system and other resources, to automatically detect output capabilities as well as to permit integrated print functions which preserve metadata and other context within the printing workflow. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, a set of applications may invoke or access a print subsystem to transmit one or more image files to a laser, inkjet, dye sublimation or other printer or other output device. According to embodiments of the invention, the print subsystem may interface to a color management engine and/or a non-color image management engine to automatically negotiate a set of enhanced or optimized print parameters, such as gamma correction, white balance correction, media selection or other options or parameters, for instance for color printing on photographic paper. Because those print or other output capabilities may be automatically detected or discovered, those enhanced settings may in many cases be generated transparently, without user intervention. In addition, metadata surrounding the image file including for instance file size, date and time information, editing status, printing status and other parameters may be preserved and made available to print drivers and other levels of resources in the printing chain, in both directions so that context may be consistently preserved and applications may enjoy extensive or complete control over the image printing process.

摘要： Systems and methods are described for support of various computing device and target entity capabilities. In an implementation, a method includes determining one or more processing capabilities of a computing device to process data for rendering by a rendering device. A selection is made, based on the determining, of one or more filters to provide data configured for rendering by the rendering device and that provides at least one processing capability that is not included in the one or more processing capabilities of the computing device.

摘要： A system and process for controlling printing of a print job by a printer. A print request is sent from a client to the printer. The request includes a unique source identifier for the print job; a type of the document or documents that make up the print job; an source address where a plurality of document resources can be retrieved; and printer settings to apply to the document or documents. and a printer timeout interval relating to an expected printing time. The printer can be informed of the size of the job or alternatively can operate in a streaming mode where data is sent to the printer as it becomes available. The printer responds to this initial request with an initial response that indicates if the print job request can be accepted and if it is accepted, supplying a printer identifier for the job on the printer for use by the client to subsequently identify the job on the printer. The printer submits a data request for the document data at the source address. The data request identifies a resource in the document to retrieve, an offset into a collection of resource data and an amount of resource data to retrieve. The requested document data is requested by the printer and in the event the remaining data for satisfying the data request is less than an amount requested, then all the remaining data is sent to the printer. The data sent to the printer is processed and based on the contents of the document data, an additional one or more requests for resources are sent to the client for additional document data.
