Assignee:

InfoPrint Solutions Company, LLC - Boulder CO

International Classification:

G06K 15/00

US Classification:

358 115, 358 16

Abstract:

A method, computer program product and print server for discovering printers connected to a print server. A print server may transmit a HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) request to every Internet Protocol (IP) address in a range of IP addresses. A response, e. g. , a document such as a web page, may be received by the print server from one or more devices at one or more IP addresses in the range of IP addresses. The print server may identify one or more out of these devices that transmitted a response as printers based on analyzing the responses from the devices. The print server may obtain printer attribute information from the identified printers and update a database with the obtained printer attribute information.

Abstract:

Various embodiments of a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for processing an extensible markup language (XML) script using an XML based scripting language are provided. The XML script is parsed. The XML script comprises element nodes. Each element node comprises a component name. A first element node comprises a first component name referencing a first user-defined component. An argument is passed to the first user-defined component. The argument is evaluated when an element node associated with the first user-defined component comprises an evaluate-component name that explicitly specifies that the argument be evaluated.

International Classification:

US Classification:

715853000, 715513000, 715764000

Abstract:

The present invention provides an efficient way of presenting hierarchical data or information based on a container metaphor. Nodes or information associated with the hierarchy are represented visually using a geometric shape, such as a rectangle, square, or circle. The hierarchical relationships of the data in the hierarchy can then be represented by displaying the shapes within one another to illustrate a container relationship or adjacent to each other to represent a different level of hierarchy. In addition, visual cues can be used to highlight the container relationship and the corresponding nature of the hierarchy. These cues can include, for example, shading the borders of the shape to give a three-dimensional illusion of depth, increasing the darkness of the background of each successively contained shape, and decreasing the size of the font of each successively contained shape.
