ABSTRACT:
A memory in a print control arrangement stores one or more application program blocks that control information signal processing, a printer driver block that controls conversion of information signals to print data and a document formatting block. A processor operates on the information signals according to control signals from the memory and operates to convert information signals to be printed according to control signals from the print driver block. Print data sent from the processor to a print spooler is intercepted and reformatted according to user provided formatting parameters in response to control signals of the document formatting block. The reformatted print data is sent to the print spooler.
