Abstract: In an exemplary method, an imaging device that is logically connected to at least one host computer system receives installation of a firmware upgrade. The firmware upgrade includes at least one new feature that is not accessible to the host(s) without a driver upgrade. The firmware upgrade includes the driver upgrade and/or driver upgrade information. In response to receiving installation of the firmware upgrade, the imaging device identifies the host(s) to which it is logically connected. The imaging device sends the driver upgrade and/or the driver upgrade information to the host(s).

Abstract: A method for segmentedly encrypting the data in a document print job in a manner which preserves options for post-rendering analysis/processing of selected non-content components, and a print job which comes into existence as a consequence of implementation of this method. The method includes identifying and individuating, within such a job, the content commands as distinguished from the non-content commands, and then, as a consequence of such identifying and individuating, encrypting only data contained within the content commands. In one manner of practicing the invention, all data in the content commands is encrypted. In another manner of such practice, only data which is contained within the content-field portions of the content commands is encrypted. The resulting print job, in one form, is characterized with (a) an encrypted part which includes only data contained within content commands, and (b) a non-encrypted part which includes the balance of data contained within the job. In another form, the resulting job is encrypted only with respect to content-field portions of the content commands.

Abstract: A method for pull printing a document wherein the rendering is initiated at a printer is disclosed. A document on a computing device is located from a printing device. A message is sent to the computing device to print the document with at least one print option. The document is rendered at the computing device into printer ready data using the at least one print option thereby providing a rendered document. The rendered document is de-spooled to the printing device. Another print option is processed on the printing device. The rendered document is printed on the printing device.

Abstract: A method for efficiently handling image data may involve creating an imaging job that includes image data corresponding to an outputting operation that is to be performed by an imaging device. The method may also involve determining whether the image data includes one or more reduced size images in addition to one or more full size images. The method may also involve determining whether the one or more reduced size images are satisfactory for the outputting operation. If the image data includes the one or more reduced size images in addition to the one or more full size images, and if the one or more reduced size images are satisfactory for the outputting operation, the method may involve despooling the one or more reduced size images to the imaging device without despooling the one or more full size images to the imaging device.
