Approach for using settings mismatch tolerance levels to handle mismatches between print job settings and printing device settings

摘要

An approach is provided for using settings mismatch tolerance levels to handle mismatches between print job settings and printing device settings. A print driver generates a graphical user interface that allows a user to select a print settings mismatch tolerance level from a plurality of print settings mismatch tolerance levels. The print driver determines whether a mismatch exists between a set of print settings specified for the particular electronic document to be printed and a set of print settings specified for a printing device on which the particular electronic document is to be printed. If a mismatch exists, then the print driver performs one or more actions corresponding to the particular print settings mismatch tolerance level to address the mismatch.
