Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a print control unit coupled with a printer, the print control unit connected to a remote host to provide one or more base resources to a unique Object Identifier (OID) generator, the one or more base resources including printing instructions; the unique OID generator to generate a unique OID relating to a derived resource to be generated via a unique OID generation module, wherein the unique OID having base resource information embedded in it further includes the printing instructions of the one or more base resources to enable a single generation of a derived resource and one or more subsequent accesses of the generated resource without having to regenerate the derived resource for each of the one or more subsequent accesses, wherein a base resource serves as parent to the derived resource and wherein a derived resource object size associated with the derived resource is calculated based on a base resource object size associated with the base resource; and a resource generator to internally generate the derived resource related to the unique OID, wherein the resource generator is further to determine whether the derived resource exists internally or needs to be generated by performing a lookup of the derived resource using the unique OID and its embedded base resource information to locate the derived resource without having to regenerate once-generated derived resources including the derived resource, wherein the print control unit is further to determine whether the derived resource exists internally or needs to be generated by internally generating a complex resource or performing internal tracking.
