The document provides an overview of PictBridge (DPS), a standard that enables direct printing from any PictBridge-compliant digital camera to any PictBridge-compliant printer regardless of manufacturer. It discusses key terminology, introduces the architectural framework based on a client-server model using Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and USB, and provides an example job flow including XML scripts for operations and events. The main implementation efforts involve using PTP over USB and requiring XML parsers to handle the passing of DPS actions in XML format.
