• Synopsis : Printer Abstraction layer is a concept of abstracting the printer drivers from the changes that are done to port driver from model to model. The model to model differences are read out of an XML file and used. The abstraction layer also abstracts the GUI from the inter control dependencies in the driver. These dependencies are read out of XML file and acted upon. The Driver writer is given a tool called builder to produce the right xml files containing dependencies and rules of GUI. The framework of PAL can be attached to any property sheet or wizard based application. This idea was later given to one of the printer manufacturing companies who took this up as a project with us.
