After print path construction logic has established a print path to convert print data from a source format to a target format, the print path construction logic determines, for each print filter that is contained in the print path, the set of print options that such a print filter provides. The print path construction logic can make this determination because the print filters expose which print options those print filters provide. The print path construction logic merges together the print options that each such print filter provides, including those print options together with the print options that the printer driver provides, thereby producing a master set of print options that is based on the print path (which, in turn, is based on the source and target formats, which may vary depending on the print data and the selected printing device). Thus, the master set of print options dynamically determined.
