Perhaps as a result, printer drivers can This invention relates to device drivers, and more particu be error-prone. Because a printer driver is often loaded into larly to printer drivers. the process of a higher-level program attempting to print, the failure of a printer driver often causes the failure of the higher BACKGROUND level program and/or operating system. As a result, printer 10 drivers are one of the most common causes of system failures. A device driver is a body of software code that enables one Applicant has further appreciated that one reason for the or more higher-level computer programs to interact with a deficiencies described above is the model employed by con hardware device. Often, a device driver accepts generic com ventional printer drivers. For example, conventional printer mands from a higher-level computer program with which a drivers include the code that provides rendering, configura user interacts, and translates the commands into lower-level 15 tion and user experience functionality as a unitary body in commands appropriate for the device being driven. By acting which each component is commingled with and interrelated as a translator between a higher-level program and the hard to other components. The various components use data in ware device, the device driver can simplify the programming “helper files' provided by the print subsystem and/or with the of those programs, since providing a standardizedway for the printer driver, and each component employs specific coded programs to interface with a device can allow developers of references to each helper file. Thus, a conventional printer the programs to focus on higher-level program code, and not driver requires full knowledge of each helper file it employs on lower-level machine commands needed to make the device and the entity that provides it. Any changes to the underlying operate. operating system or the printer driver can severely impact the A printer driver is a body of software code that enables driver's operation. As a result, conventional printer drivers are higher-level programs to employ a printer device. In general, 25 difficult to maintain. a printer driver provides three main types of functionality: Some embodiments of the present invention replace this rendering, configuration and user experience functionality. conventional printer driver model with one that is flexible and Rendering functionality provided by a printer driver trans extensible. For example, some embodiments of the invention lates information that the underlying operating system gen provide a printer driver model in which rendering, configu erates when a print function is invoked by a higher-level 30 ration and user experience functionality is provided by sepa computer program into commands and data that comply with rate components, each of which may be made available by a page description language (PDL) used by the printer device any suitable entity, including but not limited to a software (e.g., PostScript, PDF, XPS, PCL5, etc.).

Configuration functionality provided by a printer driver Some embodiments of the invention provide a printer enables the printer device to provide information relating to driver model that is both layered and modular.

  • Operating Instructions
    -------------------------------------------------------------- Readme for RW-480 PLOTBASE April 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------- This document provides complementary or latest information to supplement the RW-480 PLOTBASE and RW-480 Clients documentation. Anti-Virus Software Since this product RW-480 is designed to work in a network, we recommend to use current virus protection software! The setup of RW-480 PLOTBASE tunes your system and installs necessary drivers, which might confuse some anti-virus software. Therefore we recommend to stop the anti-virus software temporarily during installation. RW-480 WINPRINT a. Effect: Pen settings on WINPRINT HPGL-file take no effect. Reason: WINPRINT uses HPGL data as internal data format. Workaround: User must not and need not change any data on WINPRINT internal data. Do not change internal data format. b. Effect: Unexpected character in WINPRINT Dialog of Color Adjustment. Character “@” should be character “x”. Reason: RW-480 PLOTBASE is using DLL for this dialog that comes with OS. Many other drivers from other manufactures have same problem because this is related to OS. c. Effect: Save button in WINPRINT -> ADVANCED -> Halftone Color Adjustment -> Properties does not work as expected: Reason: At this dialog a BITMAP is saved, not the settings itself. Behaviour of WINPRINT is as same as printer driver from other manufacture. d. Effect: Default button in RW-480 WINPRINT -> ADVANCED -> Halftone Color Adjustment -> Properties Does not work. Reason: Button only applies to R/G/B values, does not apply to other items of this page. e. Effect: An image data of Word or Excel is printed as a blank paper from Windows 9x. Reason: Microsoft WINDOWS(c) UNIDRV.DLL has problem when certain part of image is “out of sight” (= out of printable area).

  • HP Universal Print Driver (UPD) Release Notes
    HP Universal Print Driver v7.0.0.24832 Release Notes The HP Universal Print Driver (HP UPD) is a single driver that gives users access to a range of HP print devices in the office or on the road without downloading separate drivers for every utilized printer. The HP UPD works well with a broad range of networked and direct-connected HP print products using PCL 6 or PostScript emulation. The HP UPD installs in Traditional Mode, or Dynamic Mode to enhance mobile printing. Dynamic Mode discovers network printers or enter a printer name or ip address and print anywhere on your network. It is great when you are on the road or want to print to a new device but do not have a model specific print driver installed. Traditional Mode is just like a traditional driver. Both modes can be used on the same PC. In addition to the print driver, use the tools in the HP UPD Printer Administrator’s Resource Kit (HP PARK) to streamline IT tasks, implement printing policies, and optimize your unique imaging and printing environment.
