In a system and a method for extending printing functionality implemented for a first printer to a second printer, a first set of functions applicable to the first printer is identified, and a second set of functions applicable to the second printer is identified. Functions in the first set of functions are matched with functions in the second set of functions, and matching data describing the matched functions is stored in a computer-accessible memory. The matching data is capable of facilitating printing a print job with the second printer, the print job being originally configured for printing with the first printer. Accordingly, from the perspective of a manufacturer of the first printer, new functions need not be developed to print to the second printer, which may be manufactured by another manufacturer.
