Abstract
A user can select one or more print options corresponding to a particular printer and associate the set of selected options with a particular name. The user can then identify the set of selected options, by name, when printing to that particular printer, even though no printer driver for the printer is installed on the user's computing device. Additionally, one or more print options to be used in printing a document identified in a print request can be automatically selected based on one or more characteristics of the print request.
