Selecting a page description language for a printer driver
A page description language (PDL) is selected for use by a device driver. A PDL is assigned to an application. The assignment of the PDL to the application may then be stored to an index such as a registry or to a file. The device driver is loaded from within the application. The application, from within which the device driver was loaded, is discovered. The application from within which the device driver was loaded may be discovered by examining the host operating environment upon which the application is operating. The PDL assigned to the application is selected for use by the device driver. The PDL assigned to the application may be selected by searching the index to find the PDL assignment for the application and extracting from the assignment the PDL assigned to the application.
