10 results about "Print processor" patented technology

In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.

Information processing apparatus capable of using information on cut line which is printing item that cannot be set by printer driver and is printed on recording medium, printing setting application, control method for information processing apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus capable of using information on a cut line which is a printing item that cannot be set by a printer driver and is printed on a recording medium is provided. The information processing apparatus including a printer driver includes a controller configured or programmed to function as an acquisition unit that acquires capability information on capability to perform printing on a sheet-like recording medium from a server providing a cloud print service or a printer, and a display control unit that displays a screen.

A comprehensive interface circuit for shunting protection

This application discloses a comprehensive interface circuit for shunting protection, including a main control unit, a printer driver unit, a 485 communication unit, and a CAN communication unit. The printer driver unit includes an RS232 debugging subunit and an RS232 driver subunit connecting the main control unit and the printer. The 485 communication unit includes a first 485 transceiver subunit connecting the main control unit to the RS485 bus and a second 485 transceiver subunit connecting the main control unit to at least one CIR interface and a TAX interface. The CAN communication unit includes a first CAN transceiver subunit connecting the main control unit to the CAN bus and a second CAN transceiver subunit connecting the main control unit to the CAN interface. By configuring the printer driver unit, the 485 communication unit, and the CAN communication unit, and by specifically designing the connection method, the circuit realizes the functions of CIR, TAX, CAN, and printing, thus comprehensively implementing shunting protection functions.

Program, server, and method for controlling the same

One issue is that when installing the driver for using a shared printer on the server, a confirmation screen for installation may appear, which is inconvenient. [Solution] A program for installing drivers on a server 1000 that can be used to control peripheral devices 2000 shared with a client computer 3000 connected to a network, characterized in that if there is a driver on the server computer for which a certificate is installed on the server and the driver has the highest priority, the program will install the driver, and if there is no driver on the server for which a certificate is installed, the program will install a driver with a higher priority.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing print control program, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a print control program according to an aspect of the present disclosure stores a print control program for extending a general-purpose printer driver. The print control program causes a computer to execute first acquisition processing, second acquisition processing, third acquisition processing, and display processing. In the first acquisition processing, apparatus information of a printer is acquired from the printer. In the second acquisition processing, at least either region information or language information is acquired from an operating system (OS). In the third acquisition processing, the apparatus information and at least either the region information or the language information are transmitted to a server connected to the computer, and vendor guide information regarding a vendor of the printer is acquired from the server. In the display processing, the vendor guide information is displayed.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, method, and information processing apparatus

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores an application program for causing an information processing apparatus to perform a control method. The program causes a printer driver to be installed in the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a print queue and a registry. The print queue corresponds to a printer object. The control method comprises: requesting acquisition of information about a driver object and the printer object from the registry; storing the driver object, and, when information about the driver object fails to be acquired in response to the acquisition request, storing, in the registry, a first printer object including identification information of the printer driver, and creating a first print queue; and when information about a second printer object having the identification information of the printer driver is acquired in response to the acquisition request, deleting the second printer object and a second print queue.
