Abstract
A system for enabling client devices to access different sets of features on a multifunction device to which the devices are coupled includes a multifunction device having an input device for receiving constraint data that identifies a subset of multifunction features available on the multifunction device for at least one client device in a plurality of client devices coupled to the multifunction device; and a memory for storing the constraint data in association with the one client device. Each client device includes a multifunction device driver that is configured to generate a print job for the multifunction device in accordance with the constraint data corresponding to the client device that was received from the multifunction device. Thus, the driver at each client device generates print jobs that utilize the features identified by the constraint data received at the client device.
