1 results about "Virtual printer" patented technology

In computing a virtual printer is a simulated device whose user interface and API resemble that of a printer driver, but which is not connected with a physical computer printer. When a document is "printed" by a virtual printer, instead of physically printing it on paper or other material the underlying software processes the images of its pages in some other way, often resulting in a file being produced or the images being transmitted.

Printing apparatus, control method thereof, and program

This invention provides a printing device, a control method, and a program that, when creating a virtual printer, prevents situations where the user cannot obtain the desired print result by setting predetermined capability information if the virtual printer is not associated with a printing device. [Solution] A first server system provides a first cloud print service 104 that provides print data to a printer, and registers the first cloud print service as a destination printer with respect to a second server system that provides a second cloud print service 105, and obtains print data from the second server system that has registered the first cloud print service as a destination printer using IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) operations, and provides print data based on the obtained print data to the printer 107.
