Description

201039237 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to the arrangement and purchase of a type of printing and printing, in particular, the automatic configuration of a printing axis program for a computer connected to a printer. : Law. , /, 10,000 [previous technology] The traditional printing method is connected to the printer for printing by a computer equipped with a printing driver, etc. If there are several different terminals that have printing requirements, each The terminal needs to install the solution_program and the corresponding printer machine separately, and if a certain terminal needs to connect a plurality of different types of printers, the drivers of the printers are respectively installed on the miscellaneous end, so The traditional printing method requires an e-mail program on the terminal. There are a few days to install a few print drivers on the terminal. This is not only a complicated and time-consuming installation process, but also causes a large operation system for the terminal. Burden, especially for some mobile terminals such as laptops, smartphones, etc., because the location of the terminals is constantly changing, the printers that are not configured are not the same, so if such terminals are to be printed More inconvenient. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION / In the above, it is necessary to provide a system and method for automatically configuring a print driver. - A device that can automatically configure a print driver, the device includes a fault-to-error module with a plurality of print driver installation files, and a computer can be used to control the group and control the group The group monitors the computer to connect to the 201039237 table machine, and the surface of the meter and the electric machine is used for the fresh and bribe type in the storage module _ job table machine bribe money file, Lin by the communication module Electric shame silk watch machine (four) wealth. A method for automatically configuring a print driver, comprising the steps of: plugging a drive configuration device to a computer, the drive configuration device - controlling the pull group monitoring is to connect the printer to the computer;

If there is a printer connection _ computer, the control group according to the type of the printer and the operating system type of the computer in the drive configuration of a storage module to find the corresponding printer driver installation file The control mode _ the printed surface crane installation _ by the drive configuration device - the track mode is turned on the Wei brain, and _ electric shame the printer driver. Compared with the prior art, the automatic configuration and printing method of the printing driver can be conveniently configured to configure a suitable printer driver for the computer connected to the printer. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1 ' - a drive configuration device capable of automatically configuring a print driver 1 - a storage module u, a control module 13, a communication module 15 and a wireless network (4) π, _ The (4) Lai _ ray group u, the communication module 15 is connected to the wireless network adapter 17, the storage module ^ stores a plurality of Sakiz program installation files are installed in the Ke operating system (such as the Windows operating system) , Linux operating system, etc., and apply to the same type of printer, not the same as 201039237, the storage module u can also update its memory = driver installation file 'the storage module u also stores a - drive The 'sports table' records the printers stored in the storage module 11 in the driver information table, the _ program storage directory, the printer corresponding to each installation file, and the applicable operating system type. The communication module can communicate with the outside world, and the communication is carried out. The communication ls is provided with Congjie _ communicating with the outside world. The wireless network adapter 17 can be connected to the outside wireless access point O 4G ' (4) Communicate with equipment without shafts. When the drive configuration device 10 is used, the drive configuration device 1 is plugged into a computer interface by a USB interface of the communication module 15, and the drive configuration device 10 controls the group 13 The computer 2〇 configuration is monitored to monitor whether the Wei brain 20 is connected to the printer, and the computer can search for the wireless printer through the wireless network through the drive configuration device 1G. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. After the drive configuration device 1 is plugged into the computer 20, its control module 13 monitors whether a printer is connected to the computer (step 201). Go to step 2〇2; if not, go to step 2〇3, in step 203, the computer 20# is searched by the wireless network adapter of the drive configuration device 1 for wireless network ten search wireless printer, If the wireless printer is searched, then go to step 202, otherwise, go back to step 201. When a printer (a wired printer or a wireless printer) is connected to the computer 20, the control module 13 checks the model of the printer and collects the operating system type information of the computer at the same time 201039237 (step 202), the control module 13 reads the driver information table in the storage module ^, and searches for the driver for the printer and the operation money in the driver information table (face 2 (4), if there is no corresponding correspondence Drive _ type, then pass (four) brain 20, and let the computer 2 〇 display on the screen without the corresponding print driver information (step 2 〇 5), if the corresponding driver is found, the control group 13 from the lasing In the M11, the program is installed, and the installation driver file is transmitted to the computer through the communication module 15 (step 206). Then the control module 13 runs the driver on the computer 2 The program installation file installs the printer driver on the computer 20 (step 2〇7), and finally the control module 13 automatically runs the “new printer, the program, the printer” in the computer. Add to the configuration of the computer 20 (step 2〇8). In summary, The material has met the requirements of the invention patent, and the law applies for the patent application. However, the above-mentioned fans are only the preferred embodiment of the creation, and the equivalent of the person who is familiar with the I creation technique is based on the spirit of the creation. Modifications or variations are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a hardware structure of a preferred embodiment of the apparatus for automatically configuring a printing driver of the present invention.
