FIELD: information technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to combined network or networked computing systems, namely the method and means of computer systems administration/configuration of client print server in a network environment. Due to the fact that the structure of management/maintenance of printer connection is included in the network of client machines. Method for managing printer connections supports printer connection to the computer network, which includes printers and a directory that contains a list of network components and configuration description, specified by network elements, and in which configuration description potentially includes printers. The structure of managing printer connections involves extension of printer connections. The extension of connections of the printer is the program unit which at activation refreshes connections of the printer in the configuration description assigned for a network unit, with which the client computer is associated. The extension of connections of the printer also submits request to refresh a printer subsystem on the client computer due to changes in the printer connections that are the result of refreshing the printer connection. ^ EFFECT: increased flexibility in the management of printer connections in a network environment print server/printer. ^ 54 cl, 12 dwg |
