Multi-function devices expose multiple functions to device drivers or other lower-level software. Device function providers can interface with such drivers or lower-level software and can provide information, including device identifiers regarding such functions, to a device display object infrastructure. A device display object can then be created that encompasses one or more functions such that, in one embodiment, the device display object corresponds to a single, physical multi-function device. Alternatively, any combination of functionality from one or more physical devices can be combined into a single device display object representing a virtual multi-function device. Properties of the device display object can be set with reference to user-specified settings, remotely maintained metadata, locally available metadata, and information associated with each function. Functions can be ranked such that, if there is a conflict, information from more highly ranked functions is used to set the properties of the device display object.

A computer system that recognizes multi-function devices and associates functions with multi-function devices. Each multi-function device may be represented by a multi-function object, allowing tools, applications or other components within the computer to take actions relating to the entire device or relating to a function based on the association of that function with other functions in the same device. These actions include displaying information about devices, instead of or in addition to information about functions. Actions also include selecting functions based on proximity within a device. Functions may be associated with a multi-function device using a unique device identifier provided by the device or generated for the function based on a connection hierarchy between functions and the computer. Devices may be configured to provide the same identifier regardless of the transport over which the device is accessed.

A system and process for controlling printing of a print job by a printer. A print request is sent from a client to the printer. The request includes a unique source identifier for the print job; a type of the document or documents that make up the print job; an source address where a plurality of document resources can be retrieved; and printer settings to apply to the document or documents. and a printer timeout interval relating to an expected printing time. The printer can be informed of the size of the job or alternatively can operate in a streaming mode where data is sent to the printer as it becomes available. The printer responds to this initial request with an initial response that indicates if the print job request can be accepted and if it is accepted, supplying a printer identifier for the job on the printer for use by the client to subsequently identify the job on the printer. The printer submits a data request for the document data at the source address. The data request identifies a resource in the document to retrieve, an offset into a collection of resource data and an amount of resource data to retrieve. The requested document data is requested by the printer and in the event the remaining data for satisfying the data request is less than an amount requested, then all the remaining data is sent to the printer. The data sent to the printer is processed and based on the contents of the document data, an additional one or more requests for resources are sent to the client for additional document data.

Various embodiments utilize information contained in a message, such as addressing and other information, to derive a unique identifier. The unique identifier is then used as a means to route an associated message to an appropriate component for processing. In at least some embodiments, the unique identifier is derived using hash-based techniques which are applied to various portions of the message header. Once the hash-based techniques have been used to produce the unique identifier, the unique identifier can be used in a look up process to look for the appropriate component to which the message is to be routed.

Translation web services for localizing resources include a server receiving language-independent messages containing localizable resource elements. A client receives the messages from the server, and requests a localized version of the resource element in a specified human-understandable language. A translation web service receives the request, and provides a localized version of the localizable resource element in the specified language.

Device information for each of multiple devices associated with a user account is maintained by a cloud service. The device information can include credential information allowing the device to be accessed by other ones of the multiple devices, remote access information indicating how the device can be accessed by other ones of the multiple devices on other networks, and property information including settings and/or device drivers for the device. The device information for each of the multiple devices is made available to other ones of the multiple devices, and can be used by the multiple devices to access one another and provide a consistent user experience across the multiple devices.
