PRINTER DRIVER SYSTEM FOR REMOTE PRINTING

摘要

The present invention is concerned with providing a computer printer system which is particularly adapted for printing to a remote printer in a client-server environment. In the practise of the present invention, a universal printer driver is installed o n the host server which creates a compressed, transmittable file that can be interpreted and printed by any printing device. This eliminates the need for a myriad of printer drivers being installed on the host server and increases speed and efficiency of print file processing by decreasing the need for bandwidth. The system results in faster, more convenient and mo re reliable printing to remote printers in a client-server arrangement.
