printer type clusters
Actually a print dialog needs to be custom made for each printer on the market. That is too much effort for this project. Instead we will design dialogs for seven printer clusters, each of which represents loads of similar printers in the market. manufacturers can use these best-practice These are the printer clusters we will cover:
- General inkjet printers for personal use, sharing with a few persons and casual photo printing; example: HP Deskjet 3747
- Photo printers for individual use or small workgroup; example: Epson Stylus Photo R800
- Personal laser printers for office or small workgroups; example: Brother HL-5250DN
- Workgroup laser printers; example: HP LaserJet 5200
- High volume printers for departments; example: Canon imageRUNNER 8070
- Wide format printers for architects, designers of all kind and creative types; example: Epson Stylus Pro 9800
- Impact printers used with multi-part forms and in industrial environments; example: Epson FX-2190N Impact Printer

what about pdf?
PDF Printing is used to convert files into a PDF (Portable Document Format)document that is independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system.
