All,
I feel we should work on something real when discussing the UPDF spec, the
sections we implement, other printer descriptions used as a base and the
defintion of subgroups.
I hope the attached four ASCII files (Windows International char set) are
helpful showing the differences we have to deal with and ways to go.
These are two descriptions (Paper source and Power save), each provided one
general and once filled with parameters.
I did not care about syntax.
I did not care about a real structure.
I did not care about completeness or perfect correctness.
My major concern was to start a discussion about an open structure (you can
add proprietary sections and/or delete optional sections without injuring
the format).
Some details are that the short cuts are not included in the string (like an
ampercent) to ease translations or to rank elements of a module per language
to provide an easy fallback mechanism for defaults.
Xionics will be participating with some people in tomorrow's teleconference.
We may refer to these documents.
If I am not clear enough in some areas, please ask me directly for further
explanations.
Regards
Norbert
