Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for printing to a Web services-enabled printing device. A print driver executing on a client device receives, from the printing device, printing device capability data that specifies a plurality of features and options currently supported by the printing device. The print driver generates a second version of a DEVMODE data structure from a first version. A portion of the DEVMODE data structure indicates, in XML, a particular print feature and one or more options for the particular print feature that are indicated in the printing device capability data. A user interface is generated based on the second version. A third version of the DEVMODE data structure is generated and indicates that an option of the particular print feature is selected. The print driver generates a print job ticket based the third version of the DEVMODE data structure.
