System and method for efficiently installing and configuring device drivers in managed environments

A system for facilitating selection, installation, and configuration of device drivers in a managed environment. The system includes a first mechanism for automatically accessing information about a device for which a driver is to be installed on a computer connected thereto and providing a signal in response thereto. The information includes device type and operational capabilities. A second mechanism selects a driver for the device and installs and automatically configures the driver on the computer based on the signal. In a specific embodiment, the first mechanism includes a database that maintains the information, which is organized according to an asset identification number. The information includes first and second portions. The first portion of information is obtained and entered in the database upon installation of the device. The second portion of the information includes operating system and language information pertaining to the computer. The second mechanism includes a website portal accessible by via the computer for enabling downloading of the driver. The second portion of the information is obtained from headers that are automatically supplied to website portal user-interface software by a browser running on the computer and accessing the website portal. The user-interface software runs on the website portal and enables the user to enter the asset identification number into the website portal. The asset number enables the website portal to automatically select and/or build an appropriate driver package.

System and method for filling a reservoir

A system for automatically filling a reservoir. The system includes a first mechanism that automatically determines one or more parameters associated with the reservoir. A second mechanism fills the reservoir with an appropriate amount and type of filler based on the one or more parameters. In a specific embodiment, the one or more parameters include filler type and current filler level information. The parameters also include an identification number associated with a user of the reservoir. Upon filling of the reservoir, a billing system automatically bills or charges a user based on the identification number and filler level information obtained via the first mechanism. The billing system includes a database that maintains billing information associated with the identification number. The billing system further includes a network connection that facilitates communications with the database. A control panel and accompanying user-interface software enables a user to edit the identification number and/or to edit a charge number associated with the identification number. A reservoir sensor measures the current filler level in the reservoir and provides the filler level information in response thereto. A dispensing container accommodates the reservoir and transfers filler from the dispensing container to the reservoir in response to a signal from the first mechanism. A container level sensor senses current filler levels in the container and provides container filler level information to a remote monitoring system via a network in response thereto. In a more specific embodiment, the reservoir is a printer cartridge, and the filler is printing consumable, such as toner. The first mechanism includes an electronic storage device attached to the printer cartridge that communicates with the reservoir sensor and maintains the parameters describing the reservoir.
