Printer driver profiles
A method for configuring, via a website, printer settings for a printer is described. The method includes determining a printer driver for the printer. The method also includes determining at least one printing profile scope of a set of printing profile scopes that includes the printer driver. The at least one printing profile scope includes a plurality of printer drivers. The method further includes determining at least one printing profile for the printer based on the at least one printing profile scope. The at least one printing profile is applicable to a plurality of printer drivers. The method additionally includes presenting the at least one printing profile.
1. A method for configuring, via a website, printer settings for a printer, comprising:
determining a printer driver for the printer;
determining at least one printing profile scope of a set of printing profile scopes that includes the printer driver, wherein the at least one printing profile scope includes a plurality of printer drivers;
determining at least one printing profile for the printer based on the at least one printing profile scope, wherein the at least one printing profile is applicable to the plurality of printer drivers; and
presenting the at least one printing profile.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a selected printing profile from the at least one printing profile.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the at least one printing profile comprises determining the at least one printing profile from a data structure based on the printer driver.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the printing profile scopes is indicated based on a set of operating systems, one operating system, a system configuration, a set of manufacturers, or one manufacturer.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one printing profile is applicable to multiple printer drivers in accordance with a corresponding printing profile scope.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one printing profile includes printer settings for one or more printing options.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising creating, via the website, a printing profile, wherein creating the printing profile comprises determining, from a second set of printing profile scopes, a printing profile scope associated with the printing profile.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with printer drivers from different manufacturers.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with multiple printer drivers for multiple printer models.
10. A computing device, comprising:
a processor;
memory in electronic communication with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable to:
determine a printer driver for a printer;
determine at least one printing profile scope of a set of printing profile scopes that includes the printer driver, wherein the at least one printing profile scope includes a plurality of printer drivers;
determine at least one printing profile for the printer based on the at least one printing profile scope, wherein the at least one printing profile is applicable to the plurality of printer drivers; and
present the at least one printing profile.
11. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable to determine a selected printing profile from the at least one printing profile.
12. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are executable to determine the at least one printing profile from a data structure based on the printer driver.
13. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein each of the printing profile scopes is indicated based on a set of operating systems, one operating system, a system configuration, a set of manufacturers, or one manufacturer.
14. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one printing profile is applicable to multiple printer drivers in accordance with a corresponding printing profile scope.
15. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the at least one printing profile includes printer settings for one or more printing options.
16. The computing device of claim 10 , comprising executable instructions to create, via a website, a printing profile, wherein creating the printing profile comprises determining, from a second set of printing profile scopes, a printing profile scope associated with the printing profile.
17. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with printer drivers from different manufacturers.
18. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with multiple printer drivers for multiple printer models.
19. A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium, comprising:
code for causing a computing device to determine a printer driver for a printer;
code for causing the computing device to determine at least one printing profile scope of a set of printing profile scopes that includes the printer driver, wherein the at least one printing profile scope includes a plurality of printer drivers;
code for causing the computing device to determine at least one printing profile for the printer based on the at least one printing profile scope, wherein the at least one printing profile is applicable to the plurality of printer drivers; and
code for causing the computing device to present the at least one printing profile.
20. The computer-readable medium of claim 19 , further comprising code for causing the computing device to determine a selected printing profile from the at least one printing profile.
