Abstract
The inventive system and method simulate the actions of a selected output device driver, and then record all the request and information for the document output. The quality and size of the document output are optimized according to the properties of the selected output device driver and supported resources before it is sent to the selected remote output device. When the document output data is sent to the remote site, it is restored and converted to a format acceptable by the selected output device driver for outputting a document of desired format and quality. The inventive method and system for the universal output driver facilitate the operations of network outputting so that a local host does not have to install the driver of the selected driver. Moreover, the invention can optimize the document output in accordance to the properties of the selected output device, thereby to ensure the quality of the document output and increase the transmission speed.
