Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0058822A1] A method and apparatus for carrying out printing requests is disclosed for a client/server networked computing environment. Where the client computers are arranged to simply receive data in response to requests and carry out relatively little processing on the received data the client computer is termed "Thin". In such an environment print requests from a client computer to a server computer are executed under the control of the server computer. In a large network of computer with many printers this results the maintenance of printer configuration data being a large task. The invention alleviated this problem by enabling the client computer to take control of the printing task.
