Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a communication interface unit to receives an XML paper specification (XPS) file, an XPS file processing unit which converts the XPS file into an output data corresponding to printing paper to print the XPS file using information regarding the height and width of a FixedPage in the XPS file, and a control unit which controls the image forming apparatus to print the output data. Accordingly, even when an XPS file does not include information regarding printing paper, a user can select and print printing paper suitable for the user's demand.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to generate XHTML data in a terminal, the method and apparatus including setting printing-related parameters to determine contents to be printed from among the contents of one or more standard data items desired to be printed, generating XHTML extension data that can be inserted into XHTML basic data prepared in advance, corresponding to the set contents, and generating the XHTML data by inserting the generated XHTML extension data into the XHTML basic data.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that may include a communication interface unit to receive an Extensible Markup Language (XML) Paper Specification (XPS) file, a determination unit to determine whether printing options set for the received XPS file are supported by the image forming apparatus, and a user interface unit to display a message that a printing option set for the received XPS file is an unsupported printing option if the printing option is not supported by the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a communication interface to receive printing data from the external device, a determiner to determine whether the received printing data is a compressed file, an extractor to extract a file name in at least one local file header of the printing data, when the received printing data is the compressed file, a distinguisher to determine presence or absence of an XPS file (extensible markup language paper specification file) by comparing an extension of the extracted file name with a predefined extension to distinguish the XPS file, and an image former to print the printing data in the determined XPS file.

Abstract: A printing control apparatus is provided. The printing control apparatus includes a user interface to set a printing option for a document to be printed, an extraction unit to determine whether the set printing option is a printing option for pre-processing, a generation unit to generate a setting file corresponding to the pre-processing printing option if the printing option is the pre-processing printing option, a conversion unit to convert an XPS file into an enhanced XPS file that includes the generated setting file, and a controller to transmit the enhanced XPS file to the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to generate XHTML data in a terminal, the method and apparatus including setting printing-related parameters to determine contents to be printed from among the contents of one or more standard data items desired to be printed, generating XHTML extension data that can be inserted into XHTML basic data prepared in advance, corresponding to the set contents, and generating the XHTML data by inserting the generated XHTML extension data into the XHTML basic data.

Abstract: An image forming method using extensible hypertext markup language (XHTML)-print data, including receiving registration information about an image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus, generating XHTML-Print data from print data using the registration information of the information forming apparatus, transmitting the XHTML-Print data to the image forming apparatus, and printing the XHTML-Print data.

Abstract: A printing control apparatus includes a user interface to display at least one of pre-stored hierarchical printing options if a command to print an XPS file is received, an analysis unit to analyze a hierarchical structure of the XPS file, an applying unit to apply a pre-stored hierarchical printing option selected from among the at least one displayed hierarchical printing options to the hierarchical structure of the XPS file, and a communication interface to transmit the XPS file to which the hierarchical printing option is applied to the image forming apparatus. Therefore, a user can hierarchically set frequently used hierarchical printing options in a convenient manner.
