Strategies for rendering job information using a multi-personality driver device

摘要

Strategies are described for processing job information using a multi-personality driver device. The driver device includes multiple selectable rendering modules for processing job information in the context of multiple selectable rendering paths. The driver device further contains a configuration module for selecting one of the rendering paths for a particular rendering scenario. The configuration module also exposes characteristics of various rendering paths, and facilitates the configuration of the rendering paths. The driver device uses a single rendering queue to allow applications to interact with all of the available rendering paths supported by the driver device.
