<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print management apparatus and method for performing a printing process submitted to printers suited for a number of print jobs used in a plurality of printers. <P>SOLUTION: Each virtual queue designates a physical printer and has a set of pre-defined job parameters (parameters that define how a print job will be printed) associated with it. Each print job managed by the server also has a set of job parameters associated with it to define how the print job is to be printed. When a print job is submitted to a virtual queue for printing, the server overrides the job parameters of the submitted print job, and prints the job on the printer designated by the virtual queue using the job parameters associated with the virtual queue. A warning message may be displayed before the server proceeds with the printing to alert the operator. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
