Abstract
In an exemplary method, a driver for a printing device receives a print job that comprises a document. The driver generates multiple samples that simulate the appearance of at least a portion of the document with different values for at least one print setting. The driver provides a visual presentation of the multiple samples on an output medium of an output device. The output device may be a display device, a printing device, etc. The driver juxtaposes the multiple samples on the output medium. When a user selects one of the multiple samples, the driver receives notification of the sample that was selected. In response, the driver configures the at least one print setting in accordance with the selected sample.
