PrintBasic1 vs. PrintBasic2

• PrintBasic1 enables printing from a control
  point to a UPnP Printer
• Requires XHTML-Print Support for documents
• Requires JPEG support for images
• PrintBasic2 improves printing by providing the
  following features for photo printing
• Layout Features
• Borderless Printing
• Album Pages
• Photos-up printing
• Index Printing (rotation)
• Text Superimposed on Images (e.g., Date Print
  over Photo)
• Trim/Crop Capabilities
• Early disconnect information tracking so that
  mobile handhelds can leave once the data transfer
  was complete
• Preserving User Intent on a print (e.g., conserve
  photo paper)
• PrintBasic2 requires Enhanced XHTML-Print
  support for documents
• JPEG support for images

XHTML-Print Guideline

• A guideline document supplemental to the
  normative XHTML-Print specification and will be
  included as an annex to the PrintBasic2
  specification.
• The guideline consists of three sections
• Interpretation Rules
• Specifies how PrintBasic2 printers should
  interpret expressions to achieve consistent
  output.
• Usage Rules
• Specifies how content should be written by
  clients to achieve consistent output among
  PrintBasic2 printers.
• Templates (Reference)
• Example templates provided to highlight expected
  output.
