Abstract
A series of approved printers is associated with each of multiples utilities. A client user having a local printer must first identify the local printer as one of the approved printers. The client user may then gain access to the utilities having an association with the local printer. The utilities have access to multiple image sets. Each image set includes a thumbnail representation for quick selection, a screen representation for editing the image, and a printer representation for printing the image. The printer representation is of higher resolution than the screen representation, and the screen representation is of higher resolution than the thumbnail representation. Each utility is further associated with list of predefined, and unalterably, printer setting. When a print option is actuated, the utility conveys a list of predefined printer settings to a printer without requiring the client user to submit any printer preferences.
