Samsung AnyWeb Print Application WHITE PAPER AnyWeb Print Application Introduction What is web printing? Despite the increase in availability of wireless and mobile computing, the printed page continues to be the preferred medium for portability. With the internet being a primary source of information, it is becoming necessary for computer users to be able to get WYSIWYG quality printed material. Unfortunately, most of the time WYSI-NOT-WYG is the more accurate acronym. More often than not, printing information from web pages tends to result in wasted paper, wasted toner/ink, and frustration. You end up with random frames printed on extra pages, cut-off information, having to print out too many pages from multiple web pages, or more information printed than you needed in the first place. An intuitive solution to this problem would be to capture exactly what you want and only what you want from the screen. Samsung AnyWeb Print solves all of your web printing problems with this exact WYSIWYG web printing solution. Overview of AnyWeb Print Samsung AnyWeb Print is a freeware web printing application that gives you full control over your web printing needs. AnyWeb Print not only saves you money by reducing waste (paper and toner), but saves time and energy with its easy to use clickand-drag interface. Leveraging the built-in Internet Explorer feature that allows you to render the instance as an image, AnyWeb Print creates a snapshot of the browser window s current content. After rendering the browser window content, AnyWeb Print creates a new window (over the current browser window) displaying the browser content. This essentially freezes the content and allows you to make a selection from the window. Once you have created your selection (left-clicking and dragging a selection window), AnyWeb Print records the coordinates of the selection window in relation to the HTML document s layout. AnyWeb Print then enumerates the HTML document s elements that fall within the selection s coordinates. With the list of elements, it is then possible to call a special Internet Explorer interface to render the elements in EMF (Enhanced Metafile) format. Finally, the EMF fragment can be displayed on the scrap board user interface with the EMF fragment in the appropriate display context.
