Abstract
According to an approach for printing, a print driver is configured to retrieve printing device capabilities data from a Web service-enabled printing device. The printing device capabilities data specifies for a particular feature and a particular option supported by the Web service-enabled printing device, a plurality of languages in which the particular feature and the particular option may be displayed. The print driver generates, based at least upon the capabilities data, printer description data that specifies display data that indicates how the particular feature and the particular option are to be displayed, on a GUI, in the plurality of languages. In response to user input, the print driver generates, based at least upon the display data and language data that specifies a particular language, GUI data which, when processed, causes the particular feature and the particular option to be displayed on a GUI in the particular language.
