To determine whether a driver is Unidrv-based, the following steps need to be taken on Windows: Click the Start button, and then open the Printers folder. From the File menu, click Server Properties. Click the Drivers tab. Select a driver, and then click Properties. Observe the driver list in the Driver Properties dialog box.
The XPS format used in the spool file represents advanced graphics effects such as 3D images, glow effects, and gradients as Windows Presentation Foundation primitives, which printer drivers could offload their rasterization to the printer in order to reduce computational load if the printer is capable of rasterizing those primitives.
In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.
These functions include smart card readers, direct connection to digital cameras (e.g. PictBridge technology) and other similar uses. The print engine of most All-in-one devices is based either on a home desktop inkjet printer, or on a home desktop laser printer. They may be black-and-white or colour capable.
For printers supporting XPS, this eliminates an intermediate conversion to a printer-specific language, increasing the reliability and fidelity of the printed output. Microsoft claims that major printer vendors are planning to release printers with built-in XPS support and that this will provide better fidelity to the original document. [23]
