摘要： A method and apparatus for managing filters in a filter pipeline in a print driver used with an image production device. The method may include configuring a filter pipeline in a print driver with one or more proxy filters, each proxy filter including logic to invoke an associated processing filter to perform functions similar to a corresponding processing filter alone, and enabling the print driver to be at least one of certified and digitally signed with the proxy filter without the associated processing filter being known or present.

摘要： The disclosure relates to a computerized method and system for implementing a multi-tiered approach to defining printer driver configuration settings. A printer driver configuration management utility allows establishing settings for multiple printer drivers and multiple printing devices with a single multi-tiered configuration file. In a network environment the configuration file is stored in a location accessible by a client prior to utilizing a printer. A single multi-tiered configuration file makes it possible to pre-configure and post-configure multiple printer drivers. Compatible installed printer drivers check for the configuration file and update settings accordingly. Each setting may have rules of behavior such as a default value, enforced default value, value setting lock and disallowance of a value. An alternate value, such as a secondary value, can be deferred to when a primary setting value is not supported for a particular driver.

摘要翻译： 本公开涉及一种用于实现多层次方法来定义打印机驱动程序配置设置的计算机化方法和系统。 打印机驱动程序配置管理实用程序允许使用单个多层配置文件为多个打印机驱动程序和多个打印设备建立设置。 在网络环境中，在使用打印机之前，将配置文件存储在客户端可访问的位置。 单个多层配置文件可以预配置和配置多个打印机驱动程序。 兼容安装的打印机驱动程序检查配置文件并相应更新设置。 每个设置都可能具有行为规则，例如默认值，强制默认值，值设置锁定和不允许值。 可以将备用值（例如辅助值）推迟到特定驱动程序不支持主设置值。
