International Classification:

B41J 2435

US Classification:

347248, 347234

Appl. No.:

09/018391

Inventors:

Kris R. Livingston - Boise ID

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F 300

US Classification:

345705, 345808, 345840

Abstract:

A help feature for a user interface includes a help control, such as a graphical button, displayed adjacent to a control option of the user interface. The help control references the control option for obtaining help information about the control option. The help control is displayed, and remains displayed, in response to a detected noteworthy status of the control option. Specifically, the help control is displayed automatically, without user interaction, in the event the control option is disabled and noteworthy. Alternatively, the control option is displayed in the event it is enabled and noteworthy. The help control is displayed non-intrusively relative to other elements of the user interface. Importantly, when the help control is selected by the user, context-sensitive help information is displayed describing, respectively, why the control option is disabled or why it is enabled and noteworthy.

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345123, 345660

Abstract:

A base bitmap image is displayed with an extension bitmap element in a display area. Positioning information is discovered for positioning the base bitmap image relative to the display area. The base bitmap image is loaded. A list is examined to determine the presence and location of the extension bitmap element. Positioning information is discovered for positioning the extension bitmap element relative to the display area. The extension bitmap element is loaded. The base bitmap image and the extension bitmap element are then displayed according to the positioning information for each.

Kris R. Livingston - Boise ID

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06K 1500

US Classification:

358 118

Abstract:

A computer implemented printer control system includes memory configured to provide an operating system and operative to store files representing at least one document to be printed and a display configured to provide an image of a graphical user interface in a viewing window. The graphical user interface is configured to convey information describing a relationship between matter to be printed on a first side of a page and matter to be printed on a second side of the page. The control system also includes processing circuitry configured to display, in the graphical user interface, a print preview image of a page to be printed and to display, together with the print preview image, an icon providing an indication of which binding option has been selected for a document that includes the page.

Inventors:

Kris R. Livingston - Boise ID

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 314

US Classification:

345781, 345784, 345786, 345810, 345788, 715527

Abstract:

A method of displaying multiple printer options in a graphical user interface includes dividing a viewing window into first and second portions separated by a first divider including a first visible affordance and displaying a scrollable list of features in the first portion together with a scroll bar. A currently selected one of the features is differentiated from non-selected features in the list in a first visually distinct manner and other selected features of the list are differentiated from non-selected features in the list in a second visually distinct manner. The method also includes dividing the second portion into first and second sub-portions separated by a second divider including a second visible affordance and displaying a print preview image of a selected page in a document that is to be printed in the first sub-portion. The selected page includes the currently selected one of the features. The method also includes displaying controls for the currently selected feature in the second sub portion.

G06F 1500

US Classification:

358 115, 358 118, 358452

Abstract:

A method of displaying a print preview image of a selected page in a document includes displaying a list of user-selectable printing features, receiving a selection of one of the user-selectable printing features, displaying a user-actuable control for the selected one of the features, displaying a print preview image which changes in response to actuation of the user-actuable control, displaying a page selector adjacent the print preview image for selecting a page to be displayed in the print preview image and displaying indicia showing which pages within the document have had the selected one of the features from the list altered from a default setting for that feature.

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

358 115, 358 11

Abstract:

The user goes to a Web imaging homepage to print a document that was recently submitted to the Web-based imaging system. The user selects a printer from the list of available printers. The user then clicks on the âprint oneâ button located beside the printer selected. If the-user has previously printed to this particular device, the printer will print one page according to last printer settings. If the user has not printed to this particular device, the printer prints one copy based upon a master list of default settings the for that printer, such as SourceTray=AutoSelect, Duplex=None or Printer Default, etc.
