Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for auto-configuring installable device options in a Windows™ print queue. Software and other resources are provided to enable print drivers based on the version 4 print architecture to perform auto-configuration of installable options for printing devices which do not support the protocols and/or queries required by the native means of auto-configuration supported by the Windows™ 8 operating system. A setup module can install tasks under the task scheduler including a task which is triggered by print queue related events, along with a polling task to detect printer device changes. These tasks can invoke a printer configuration module which in turn invokes two transient child processes to supply the print driver with printer configuration data in the expected native format used by the Windows™ 8 operating system.
