A novel method of printing including receiving printer setting information
indicative of printer driver settings corresponding to a print request,
and printing the printer driver settings along with a print job
corresponding to the print request. Further, the printer driver settings
may be printed only on a first page of the print request, on all pages of
the print request, on a separate front sheet of the print request, and/or
on a separate rear sheet of the print request. The printer setting
information is further indicative of computer system information
including, for example, a computer user name, a name of computer software
used to make a file corresponding to the print request, a name of the
file, a name of a printer printing the print request, and a printing time
stamp. This computer system information may also be printed together with
the printer driving settings. In addition, the printer driver settings
include, for example, a printer paper source, an output paper tray, a
layout setting, a collation status, a duplex setting, an orientation
setting, a paper size, a scale rate, a positive or negative image, an
original or mirror image, font information, watermark information,
coloring information, and a print job waiting time and job queue schedule
information. The present invention also relates to a printer and
graphical user interface allowing a user to print the printer setting
information on desired pages.
