System for enabling a group of printers to print a document

摘要

A computing system includes a group of retention printers and a computer all connected to the network system. The retention printers are logically organized into a plurality of subgroups. The computer provides a user interface that enables a user to select a subgroup and to request a document be retained at each printer in the selected subgroup. The computer is responsive to the request by transmitting a retention job that describes the document to each one of the printers in the selected subgroup.
