Abstract
The present invention relates to a printer being capable of parsing, understanding and evaluating multiple target package files that include printing resources not only for a single printer or for a single type of printer, but for multiple printers or multiple types of printers. For this purpose, the package file is augmented with platform information that is separately associated with each printer resource included in the package file. Thereby, the parser of the printer can discriminate whether or not a particular resource is applicable to itself. Consequently, only the resources such as firmware are installed that are valid and applicable to the printer. In the same manner, the resources can also be augmented with individual printer information, so as to indicate different resources to be installed on different printers, even if they are of the same type.
