They just seem to be hosting the drivers up in the cloud.  It is sort of a “remote print”.   It looks like the transformation to a device specific PCL is done up in the cloud and the results are sent to the device.    <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><div><o:p> </o:p>Peter Zehler Xerox Research Center Webster Email: <a href="mailto:Peter.Zehler@Xerox.com">Peter.Zehler@Xerox.com</a> Voice: (585) 265-8755 FAX: (585) 265-7441 US Mail: Peter Zehler Xerox Corp. 800 Phillips Rd.

It is perhaps unfortunate that, after the PWG finally appeared to agree that an industry standard was preferable to a whole flock of self-proclaimed de facto standards, that this emerges.
