20090100445 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRIVING PRINTER DRIVER ACCORDING TO A DETERMINED APPLICATION AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSTALLING THE PRINTER DRIVER - A method and apparatus for driving a printer driver according to a determined type of application and a method and apparatus for installing a printer driver. The method includes determining the type of application; and driving one of an extensible markup language (XML) paper specification (XPS) driver and a legacy driver in accordance with the determined type of application. The most appropriate printer driver is automatically selected in accordance with the determined type of application. Thus, a user does not have to inconveniently select a printer driver whenever the user prints data and the data may be printed using the most appropriate printer driver. Furthermore, in consideration of various types of applications, such as, a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) type application and a conventional Win32 type application, an optimized printing operation may be performed even when a user does not check whether an application to be used is a WPF type application or a Win32 type application, or whether a printer driver corresponding to the application is an XPS driver or a legacy driver, such as a printer control language (PCL), graphical device interface (GDI), or postscript (PS) driver. | 04-16-2009 |
20090237721 | PRINTING METHOD TO LOAD FILTER DYNAMICALLY AND RECORDABLE MEDIUM WITH PROGRAM TO EXECUTE THE PRINTING METHOD AND HOST APPARATUS - A printing method which dynamically loads a filter, a recordable medium with a program to execute the printing method, and a host apparatus. The printing method uses filter setting information having at least one filter corresponding to a print option of a print document, the printing method can include selecting a print option, changing the filter setting information corresponding to the print option, and applying the printing option according to the changed filter setting information and transmitting print data. | 09-24-2009 |
20100053670 | PRINTING CONTROL METHOD, PRINTING CONTROL TERMINAL DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A printing control method including receiving a command to print an XML paper specification (XPS) file; determining whether the XPS file contains a preset tag; separating a page to which the preset tag is attached from the XPS file, and converting the separated page into page description language (PDL) data; and transmitting the XPS file from which the page has been separated and the PDL data to an image forming apparatus, and a printing control terminal device and an image forming apparatus to execute the printing control method. | 03-04-2010 |
20100095200 | PRINT CONTROL APPARATUS AND PRINTTICKET CONTROL METHOD - A print control apparatus includes a determining unit to search for one or more PrintTickets for each level within an XML paper specification (XPS) file in response to an XPS file print command, and to determine whether the one or more PrintTickets found as a result of searching conflict with each other within the XPS file, a user interface, and a controller to control the user interface to display one or more conflicting PrintTickets if it is determined that the one or more PrintTickets conflict with each other within the XPS file. Therefore, it is possible for a user to easily determine which PrintTickets conflict with each other within the XPS file and to readily control these conflicting PrintTickets. | 04-15-2010 |
20100128306 | TERMINAL APPARATUS TO CONTROL A PRINTING OPERATION AND METHOD THEREOF - A terminal apparatus to control a printing operation having a user interface to receive a selection of an optimize option when a command to print a XPS file is received, a filter unit to process the XPS file using at least one filter corresponding to the received optimize option, and a controller to transmit the XPS file which has been processed by the filter unit with the at least one filter to an image forming apparatus. Accordingly, the ease of selecting an optimize option for an XPS file is increased. | 05-27-2010 |
20100157365 | METHOD TO GENERATE DIGITAL SIGNATURE, PRINT CONTROLLING TERMINAL, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A print controlling method includes receiving a selection of at least one of XML paper specification (XPS) files, analyzing a digital signature structure of the selected XPS file, generating a digital signature of the XPS file according to the analyzed digital signature structure, and storing the XPS file in which the digital signature is generated. Accordingly, a user can easily generate a digital signature for a previously generated XPS file. | 06-24-2010 |
20100162103 | METHOD TO CHANGE THUMBNAIL AND PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS - A method to change a thumbnail includes the operations of selecting an XML Paper Specification (XPS) file, analyzing a thumbnail structure of the XPS file, setting a thumbnail regarding the XPS file according to the analysis, and storing an XPS file in which the thumbnail setting is changed. Accordingly, a user easily changes the thumbnail setting. | 06-24-2010 |
20110109930 | PRINTING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD - A printing control apparatus is provided. A printing control apparatus includes a storage unit to store a plurality of documents, a user interface (UI) unit to select a plurality of documents from among the plurality of documents stored in the storage unit, an XPS file conversion unit to convert each selected document into an XPS file, an XPS file processing unit to combine the converted XPS files into a single XPS file, and a communication interface unit to transmit the combined XPS file to the image forming apparatus. Therefore, a user can combine documents made by diverse application programs into a single document, and divide specific pages in a document as a separate document. | 05-12-2011 |
20110113321 | XPS FILE PRINT CONTROL METHOD AND PRINT CONTROL TERMINAL DEVICE - A print control method includes receiving a print command to print a document, receiving an input of document information regarding the document, generating a document information file using the input document information, generating an XML paper specification (XPS) file containing the document information using the generated document information file, and transmitting the generated XPS file to the image forming apparatus. Therefore, it is possible for a user to easily set the document information in the XPS file. | 05-12-2011 |
