Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for indicating capabilities of a printer. One embodiment is a system that includes a memory storing instructions for operating a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and a controller that presents the GUI based on the instructions. A control of the GUI includes a list of entries that each correspond with a potential printer capability. Responsive to detecting new text entered into a text field, the GUI displays an add button. In response to detecting a cursor over an entry in the list: the GUI displays a select button for selecting the entry to indicate actual capabilities of a specific printer. In response to detecting that a user has clicked on one of the select buttons to indicate an actual capability of the printer, the GUI selects a corresponding entry for the select button in combination with other entries to indicate the actual capabilities of the printer.
