Abstract: Image forming devices and image forming methods are provided. According to a first aspect of the invention, an image forming device includes a processor configured to process executable instructions; a storage configuration configured to store image data, plural instruction components, and a dynamic application, wherein the instruction components individually comprise plural executable instructions configured to cause the processor to perform an operation with respect to formation of images, and the dynamic application comprises plural executable instructions configured to cause the processor to associate the dynamic application with at least one of the instruction components and to perform an operation with respect to the at least one associated instruction component; an input/output interface configured to communicate the image data and the dynamic application externally of the image forming device; and an engine configured to form images upon media responsive to the image data.

Abstract: An interface module mediates between a printer driver and at least one add-on module, allowing the printer driver to call at least one add-on module via the interface module. One or more add-on modules are registered with the interface module, independent from the printer driver. One or more add-on modules may modify the user interface presented by the printer driver. As a print stream passes through the printer driver, one or more add-on modules may add data to the print stream at one or more access points. In this way, the interface module allows for greater control over the print stream and the user interface.
