Abstract (en)

[origin: DE202004007955U1] At least two computers (a,c) are provided with a driver-server module for storing driver data for printer drivers and other device drivers, and for managing and transmitting them to other computers (b,d). At least two driver-server modules of different computer nodes (a,c) are coupled together in accordance with a master-slave principle. The computer node (c) with the hierarchically subordinate driver-service module is connected to at least one peripheral server computer (B) for transmission of driver data to the latter. Independent claims are included for a computer nodes; a computer program for implementing a driver-server module; a peripheral server computer; a graphical user interface; and a computer program for implementing the graphical user interface.
