Printer Driver Interface and Methods

An apparatus for controlling printing of a document using a printer driver interface, comprising:

• a memory that stores print driver instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the print driver instructions to cause display of the printer driver interface upon receipt of a print command to print the document having a document size from a user by:
• displaying the printer driver interface upon receipt of the print command, the printer driver interface including the document size;
• displaying a selectable paper output size on the printer driver interface, the selectable paper output size allowing a user to select a user-selected one of a plurality of different paper output sizes;
• displaying user-selectable scaling options on the print driver interface, the scaling options for applying scaling to an image to be printed on the user-selected one of the plurality of different paper output sizes;
• receiving from the user the user-selected one of the paper output sizes;
• and
• controlling printing of the document using the user-selected one of the paper output sizes.

A computer-readable medium, comprising:

• a computer-usable data carrier storing instructions, the instructions when executed by a computer causing the computer to control printing of a document using a printer driver interface by:
• displaying the printer driver interface upon receipt of the print command, the printer driver interface including the document size;
• displaying a selectable paper output size on the printer driver interface, the selectable paper output size allowing a user to select a user-selected one of a plurality of different paper output sizes;
• displaying user-selectable scaling options on the print driver interface, the scaling options for applying scaling to an image to be printed on the user-selected one of the plurality of different paper output sizes;
• receiving from the user the user-selected one of the paper output sizes;
• and
• controlling printing of the document using the user-selected one of the paper output sizes.
