ABSTRACT:
The present invention allows for field changes of the function of a print driver based on the application requesting print driver services. First, a utility is activated. Using the utility, the application is selected and a flag is set that indicates the problem function. The flag and information about the associated application are stored in a data structure. Finally, the data structure is stored in a storage device. When the application requests services of the printer driver, all the data structures are scanned looking for an entry for the requesting application. If an entry is found, then the function flag is used to direct a change in the function of the printer driver. If an entry is not found, then a permanent list is searched for an entry of the application. Again, if an entry is found in the permanent list it is used to direct a change in the function of the printer driver.
