Disclosed are methods of controlling printing of a document using a printer driver interface, and corresponding apparatus and computer-readable medium. The embodiments receive a print command to print a document having a document size, display the printer driver interface, the printer driver interface including the document size, display a selectable paper output size on the printer driver interface, the selectable paper output size allowing a user to select a user-selected one of a plurality of different paper output sizes, display user-selectable scaling options on the print driver interface, the scaling options for applying scaling to an image to be printed on the user-selected one of the plurality of different paper output sizes, receive from the user the user-selected one of the paper output sizes, and control printing of the document using the user-selected one of the paper output sizes.
摘要:
An apparatus and method share and manage passcodes across multiple printing device drivers. The method can include providing, on the electronic device, a first printing device driver for a first printing device and a second printing device driver for a second printing device. The first printing device driver and the second printing device driver can access a common secure printing device passcode storage location for secure printing device passcodes. The method can include storing at least one secure printing device passcode in the common secure printing device passcode storage location. The method can include displaying secure print information to the user in response to receiving a secure print input. The method can include sending a secure printing device passcode over the network interface to a printing device to securely print the document.

Disclosed are methods of controlling operation of a printer, apparatus and computer-readable medium. The embodiments control operation of a printer by displaying to a user a print user interface including selectable document settings and a default/saved settings control, the default/saved settings control displaying a list of at least one saved default setting and command settings, the at least one saved default setting including selected ones of the document settings, the command settings allowing the user to create additional default settings and to delete the at least one saved default setting, and controlling printing of a document to print on the printer using the saved default setting and the selected ones of the document settings.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for disallowing devices for print driver printing are disclosed. The method can be in an electronic device including a network connection. The method can include providing a multiple printing device print driver installed on the electronic device where the multiple printing device print driver is a single print driver that provides print access to multiple printing devices for the electronic device. The method can include receiving printing device accessibility rules, where the printing device accessibility rules provide rules for determining which printing devices the electronic device is allowed to print to using the multiple printing device print driver. The method can include discovering printing devices proximal to the electronic device using the network connection and using the multiple printing device print driver to generate discovered printing devices. The method can include filtering the discovered printing devices using the multiple printing device print driver based on the printing device accessibility rules to generate at least one filtered discovered printing device that satisfies the printing device accessibility rules. The method can include displaying the at least one filtered discovered printing device on the electronic device.

A method and apparatus for replacing banner pages with document identification information in an image production device is disclosed. The method may include receiving a request from a user to cease including a banner page with each printed document, the banner page being separate page containing document identification information, prompting the user to enter document identification information to be printed on the document, receiving the document identification information from the user, receiving a request from the user to print a document, and printing the document with document identification information on one or more pages of the document.
摘要:
A method and system organizes multiple print jobs to be processed by a printing engine in a print queue and displays a listing of the multiple print jobs within the print queue. This listing identifies the order in which the multiple print jobs will be processed by the printing engine. After identifying an active user, the method highlights print jobs of the active user within the listing of the multiple print jobs and can simultaneously display a listing of most recently completed print jobs of the active user. The method and system can also simultaneously list jobs of the active user within other queues.
摘要:
At a user terminal (10) operatively connected with a mobile device (20), a print job is formed into an incomplete print job envelope (32) and completing data (34, 40) including at least print job accounting information (40). The completing data (34, 40) including at least the print job accounting information (40) is stored on the mobile device (20). The incomplete print job envelope (32) is transmitted to a printing device (12). The mobile device (20) is operatively disconnected the from the user terminal (10), and is operatively connected with the printing device (12). After the operative connecting, the print job is re-constructed at the printing device (12), and the re-constructed print job is printed using the printing device (12). A cost of the printing is accounted for based on the print job accounting information (40) stored on the operatively connected mobile device (20).
