ABSTRACT:
This subject application is directed to a system and method for sending electronic files to multiple destinations. When a document is first selected for output, a first level, or generic driver, is selected. This driver enables output of the selected document to all selected output destinations, such as printing, web posting, and e-mailing. While a common driver interface is functional, the system further teaches a mechanism wherein a user can select a destination specific driver for some or all of the destinations. This selection allows for more refined processing options than those afforded by the generic driver, which must function in a set of parameters common to all destinations. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, once a driver for a specific destination is selected, the associated driver is loaded and selected criteria for the specialized driver is stored for future use for documents being output to that destination.
