US Classification:

719327

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods of creating drivers for use in a network, the network including computers and devices, and corresponding apparatus and computer-readable medium. The methods include providing a platform, the platform including: 1) a plurality of selectable communication components, each communication component relating to a type of network communication associated with a type of device; 2) a plurality of selectable PDL components, each PDL component relating to a type of PDL associated with a type of device; 3) a user interface component, the user interface component having plurality of selectable user interface elements; 4) a plurality of selectable workflow components, each workflow component relating to a type of workflow to be associated with a device; and 5) a plurality of selectable vertical feature components; determining a type of the device for which the driver is to be created, the device being on the network; and based on the determined type of the device, selecting and activating one of the communication components, one of the PDL components, the user interface component, and one of the workflow components, and instantiating each of the selected components, thereby creating a driver suitable for the determined type of device on the network.

International Classification:

G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 115

Abstract:

According to aspects of the embodiments, there is provided methods of controlling operation of a printer, apparatus and computer-readable medium. The embodiments control operation of a printer by receiving a print command for printing from a user, and displaying a print user interface including selectable document settings and context based restrictions. Context based restrictions allows a system administrator to flexibly manage users access to a device features and capabilities. A variety of restrictions can be specified including time-based, capacity-based, and application-based. This invention also prevents the user from submitting a job with a restricted feature. Advantages are a clear, understandable presentation of restrictions to the user so the user knows what features the user cannot access.

Assignee:

XEROX CORPORATION - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 113

Abstract:

An apparatus and method share and manage passcodes across multiple printing device drivers. The method can include providing, on the electronic device, a first printing device driver for a first printing device and a second printing device driver for a second printing device. The first printing device driver and the second printing device driver can access a common secure printing device passcode storage location for secure printing device passcodes. The method can include storing at least one secure printing device passcode in the common secure printing device passcode storage location. The method can include displaying secure print information to the user in response to receiving a secure print input. The method can include sending a secure printing device passcode over the network interface to a printing device to securely print the document.

International Classification:

G06K 15/02

US Classification:

358 115

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to a computerized method and system for implementing a multi-tiered approach to defining printer driver configuration settings. A printer driver configuration management utility allows establishing settings for multiple printer drivers and multiple printing devices with a single multi-tiered configuration file. In a network environment the configuration file is stored in a location accessible by a client prior to utilizing a printer. A single multi-tiered configuration file makes it possible to pre-configure and post-configure multiple printer drivers. Compatible installed printer drivers check for the configuration file and update settings accordingly. Each setting may have rules of behavior such as a default value, enforced default value, value setting lock and disallowance of a value. An alternate value, such as a secondary value, can be deferred to when a primary setting value is not supported for a particular driver.
