Abstract
A multimedia projector/printer system capable of displaying, printing, and controlling all multimedia content associated with a multi-media document. The multimedia projector/printer has a multimedia image generator. A print driver interface is provided that allows users to “print” a multimedia document to the projector. The multimedia driver embeds instructions and codes within a document that are retrieved and removed before the projector produces an image. The instructions and codes indicate multimedia data to be fetched over the network. The multimedia projector/printer also provides the option to display multimedia data regardless of the software application from which created it.
