B41B001/00

US Classification:

358/001150, 358/001130

Abstract:

A printer driver integrates local and remote printing. A computer is coupled to a local printer. The computer also has access via a network connection to one or more remote printers or printing services. The computer may access the remote printers via the Internet or other wide area network. Using the printer driver, a user can send print jobs either to the local printer or a remote printer. Preferably, the coordination of the local and remote printing capabilities of the computer and printer driver is transparent to the user. That is, the user can initiate a print job from any authoring application (e.g., word processor) and have that print job sent either to the local or remote printer via a common user interface provided by the printer driver.

US Classification:

455345000, 455344000

Abstract:

A digital media player includes a mass storage device coupled to control circuitry. The player receives wired digital content from a home network, broadcast signals containing encoded broadcast content, and occupant inputs indicating broadcast digital content to be stored on the mass storage device. The control circuitry operates in a storage mode to receive wired digital content from the home network and store the received content on the mass storage device. In this mode, the control circuitry also operates in response to occupant inputs to store selected broadcast content on the mass storage device. The control circuitry further operates in a play mode to select content stored on the mass storage device in response to user inputs and to play the selected content. The broadcast signal may be, for example, a broadcast AM or FM signal.
