Abstract:
An integrated printer driver includes the capability to discover available ad-hoc printing devices and obtain the features and options currently supported by those ad-hoc printing devices. The integrated printer driver automatically selects a particular ad-hoc printing device based upon a user's selected feature and option set and allows a user to print an electronic document prior to an ad-hoc communications link being established with the particular ad-hoc printing device. The integrated printer driver generates an un-rendered print job and holds the un-rendered print job until an ad-hoc communications link is established with the particular ad-hoc printing device. After the ad-hoc communications link has been established, the integrated printer driver determines whether the particular ad-hoc printing device is capable of successfully processing the un-rendered print job and if so, causes the un-rendered print job to be transmitted to a print rendering server for rendering.
