Embodiment Construction

[0042] Hereinafter, a printer driver as one embodiment of the print control device will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0043] figure 1This is a block diagram illustrating the functional configuration of the printer driver 100 that controls printing by the printer 60 . The printer driver 100 is installed in the computer 10 and includes a document data input module 105 , a job integration module 108 , a filter processing module 110 , a print information display module 150 , a print processing module 185 and a print data output module 190 . In addition, the printer driver 100 not only has the function of printing a single document, but also has a dummy driver capable of summarizing multiple documents like XPS (XML Paper Specification), which is an electronic document based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language). Functions for printing processing. In addition, when describing the functions and operations of the printer driver 100, refer to figure 2 , image 3 as ...

Abstract

The invention relates a print control device, an information display method and information display program thereof. The invention aims to display the progress generated by the print data in a filter processing unit or the attributes of the document processed by each filter processing unit. The solution is that a printer driving program (100) sequentially processes multiple filter processing units in parallel to generate the print data of the document; the device comprises a print information obtaining unit (155) that obtains the print information at least comprising the attribute information associated with the attribute of the processed document in the filter processing unit and the state information representing the state of the generated print data, and a print information display unit (160) that arranges and displays the information display region of each filter processing unit in the specified direction according to the sequences of the filter processing unit and displays the attribute information and state information contained in the print information obtained from the filter processing unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing control device that controls printing by a printing device, an information display method for the printing control device, and an information display program for the printing control device. Background technique [0002] When a program driven on a computer executes a task that requires time to process, it is known to use a bar graph to dynamically display a progress bar that dynamically displays the rate at which the task has been completed as a tool for indicating the progress of the process to the user. Patent Document 1 below discloses a printer driver that uses a progress bar to indicate to the user the progress of printing processing by the printer. [0003] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2001-134411 [0004] However, the existing progress bar, because it represents the printing progress in the printer, cannot know the operating status of each function of the printer from the printer driver, or the pages proc...
