Abstract
An approach is provided for automatically updating a printer driver for a printing device to reflect new features of the printing device or installing a printer driver for a newly available printing device. A client device sends a request to the printing device for a default print ticket. The client device also sends a request to the printing device for print capabilities data. Based on the print capabilities data and the default print ticket received from the printing device, a graphical user interface is generated, allowing a user to select, for a print job, print setting values for the one or more print settings supported by the printing device. Based on the print settings values selected by the user and the default print ticket, a print job ticket is generated for the print job and is sent to the printing device for processing.
