Abstract
A driver for a mobile-computing device. The driver comprises a communication interface for communicatively coupling the driver to an application executing on the mobile-computing device and a print service wirelessly coupled to the mobile-computing apparatus. The driver further comprises an interceptor and a graphics device formatter. The interceptor identifies graphics device commands and forwards graphics device commands issued by the application. The formatter, when enabled, renders information desired to be printed from the mobile-communication device to an intermediate format communicated to the print service.
