<p>A method and a system for printing remotely generated interactive print jobs, the system including a workstation provided with a processor unit, a display screen, and operator control means; a printer, provided with a control unit and an operator control panel including a display and a local storage device for storing print files for printing; and a digital network to which the workstation and the printer are connected. In this context, an interactive print job is defined as being for deferred processing, in which a print file corresponding to the interactive print job is stored in the local storage device of the printer upon reception and not printed, and is, upon an operator command, presented on the display of the operator control panel of the printer for selection and, upon a second operator command, successive printing. The method includes showing interactive print jobs submitted to the printer and currently stored in the local storage device of the printer on the workstation display screen and enabling an operator, through the use of the workstation operating means, to select a shown interactive print job and to give a command for printing the selected interactive print job. <IMAGE></p> |
