Abstract: A manner of resolving printer driver incompatibility problems is described. Print data is received from a printer driver. The print data reflects an incompatibility between the application program used to create the print data and the printer driver. Next, updated print data is generated that corrects the incompatibility between an application program and the printer driver. Thereafter, the updated print data is sent to the printer. The electronic document is printable by the printer such that the printed copy does not reflect the incompatibility between an application program and a printer driver.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for outputting an electronic document, in which separation pages are automatically interleaved between successively printed pages of the electronic document. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of printing an electronic document on transparency film using a computer printer having at least two (2) paper source trays. The method may involving modifying an existing printer driver associated with the printer to cause the printer to print pages of the document on sheets of transparency film obtained from a first paper source tray, and to automatically interleave blank sheets obtained from a second paper source tray between successively printed pages. For example, an existing printer driver is modified by automatically generating a new computer printer driver based on an existing printer description file that is associated with the existing printer driver, to redefine pagination and paper source tray attributes of the description file.

Abstract: A novel method of printing including receiving printer setting information indicative of printer driver settings corresponding to a print request, and printing the printer driver settings along with a print job corresponding to the print request. Further, the printer driver settings may be printed only on a first page of the print request, on all pages of the print request, on a separate front sheet of the print request, and/or on a separate rear sheet of the print request. The printer setting information is further indicative of computer system information including, for example, a computer user name, a name of computer software used to make a file corresponding to the print request, a name of the file, a name of a printer printing the print request, and a printing time stamp. This computer system information may also be printed together with the printer driving settings. In addition, the printer driver settings include, for example, a printer paper source, an output paper tray, a layout setting, a collation status, a duplex setting, an orientation setting, a paper size, a scale rate, a positive or negative image, an original or mirror image, font information, watermark information, coloring information, and a print job waiting time and job queue schedule information. The present invention also relates to a printer and graphical user interface allowing a user to print the printer setting information on desired pages.

Abstract: A system and method which allows a software engineer to easily modify a resource file for a graphical user interface (GUI). A conventional hard-coded resource file is converted into a parameterized resource file with a header file. The parameterized resource file includes parameters for certain properties which were previously hard-coded in the hard-coded resource file. Further, the header file provides values for the parameters. With such a structure and operation, by changing the parameter values in the header file the parameterized resource file can be changed, thereby making it significantly easier to modify resource files, and accordingly to modify the display on graphical user interfaces. More particularly, a data structure is achieved which defines a graphical user interface. The data structure includes a first file which defines a display of a plurality of controls of the graphical user interface. The controls include, for at least one control, a control type, a dimension of the control, and text to be displayed adjacent to, or with, the control. Further, at least one of the dimension of the control in the text is a variable, i.e., a parameter. Further, a parameterization indicator indicates a parameterization for the variable in the first file. A header file is then configured to store a value for the variable.
