<p>A method for open systems sprinting including routing print jobs automatical ly from different types of source computers (54) to different types of printers (62) without the source computers selecting printers for each print job. A method for open systems printing including routing print jobs automatically from an arbitrary number of sourc e computers to an arbitrary number of printers without the source computers selecting printers for each print job. A print server (52) for use with different types of source computers and different types of printers, the print server directs print jobs received from the source computers to the printers without the source computers selecting printers for each print job. A print server (52) for use with an arbitrary number of similar types of source computers (54) and an arbitrary number of similar types of printers (62), the print server directs print job s received from the source computers to the printers without the source computers selecting printers for each print job. An open systems printing environment including a source computer (54) connected to a first network (56), a print server (52) connected to the first network (56 ) and a second network (58), an output manager (60) connected to the second network (58), and a printer connected to the output manager (60), the print server directs print jobs generated by the source computer to the printer.</p> |
