摘要

An identification card printer (54) for printing an image on an identification card (85), is provided which includes a print mechanism (82) adapted to deposit material on to the card (85). A network adapter is configured to couple to a network (56). A print drive module (74) controls the print mechanism in response to a drive module input. A client/server module (70, 72) is coupled to the network adapter and functions as a client on the network (56) to responsively provide data to the drive module input. The client/server module (70, 72) can further function as a server on the network (56) to serve data to the network (56).
