Abstract: A system for remote installation of software is utilized to install peripheral software associated with a device driver during the installation of the device driver for a selected peripheral. In particular, a user installs a device driver for the selected peripheral installed from a remote computer. As part of the installation process, the device driver is configured to self-initialize and invoke an initialization entry point. The initialization entry point may be configured to point to a driver initialization description file which is read by the device driver. The initialization description file includes a name of the peripheral software and an installation method for the peripheral software. This information is utilized by the device driver to install the peripheral software according to the listed installation method.

Abstract: Printer drivers in printer clients which have internal clocks take time/date data from the clock of the printer client and append that data to each transmission of a print job to a connected printer. The printer's processor extracts that time/date data from the print job transmission and uses that time or automatically set or adjust the time kept by a clock circuit internal to the printer. In this way, the printer's clock circuit consistently provides accurate time/date data that can be used to more efficiently manage the operation of the printer.

Abstract translation: 具有内部时钟的打印机客户端中的打印机驱动程序从打印机客户端的时钟获取时间/日期数据，并将该数据附加到打印作业的每个传输到连接的打印机。 打印机的处理器从打印作业传输中提取时间/日期数据，并使用该时间，或者自动设置或调整打印机内部的时钟电路所保留的时间。 以这种方式，打印机的时钟电路始终提供准确的时间/日期数据，可用于更有效地管理打印机的操作。

Abstract: A computer implemented method by which a user edits and delivers a print job in a computer system, the method including providing a printing software object as a COM component for editing and delivering a print job and providing job data of the print job to the printing software object, by a print job creator, in the form of references to pages. The references to pages are used by the software printing object, to call and display the pages on a need basis. The user edits the job data of the print job based on the displayed pages and the print job is delivered for processing in accordance with the edited job data.

Abstract translation: 一种计算机实现的方法，用户通过该方法在计算机系统中编辑和传送打印作业，该方法包括提供打印软件对象作为用于编辑和传送打印作业的COM组件，并将打印作业的作业数据提供给打印软件 对象，由打印作业创建者，以对页面的引用的形式。 软件打印对象使用页面引用，根据需要调用和显示页面。 用户根据显示的页面编辑打印作业的作业数据，并根据编辑的作业数据传送打印作业进行处理。

Abstract: Apparatus and method for generating a print job from a device driver interface command stream (command stream) is described. The command stream describes multiple collated copies of a document but is in an undifferentiated form. The print job that is generated includes print data that describes only a single copy of the document and a command that indicates the number of printed copies that are to be printed.
