Abstract

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.

Claims (28)

1. A method for configuring printer settings for a printer, comprising:

determining at least one printing profile scope comprising 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

utilizing software-as-a-service deployment of the plurality of printer drivers and 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 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.

4. 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.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one printing profile includes printer settings for one or more printing options.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with printer drivers from different manufacturers.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with multiple printer drivers for multiple printer models.

8. 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 at least one printing profile scope comprising 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

utilize software-as-a-service deployment of the plurality of printer drivers and the at least one printing profile.

9. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are executable to determine a selected printing profile from the at least one printing profile.

10. The computing device of claim 8 , 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.

11. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one printing profile is applicable to multiple printer drivers in accordance with a corresponding printing profile scope.

12. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one printing profile includes printer settings for one or more printing options.

13. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with printer drivers from different manufacturers.

14. The computing device of claim 8 , wherein the printing profile is compatible with multiple printer drivers for multiple printer models.

15. A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium, comprising:

code for causing a computing device to determine at least one printing profile scope comprising 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;

code for causing the computing device to utilize software-as-a-service deployment of the plurality of printer drivers and the at least one printing profile.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15 , further comprising code for causing the computing device to determine a selected printing profile from the at least one printing profile.
