<p>A system of networked computers and peripherals and document delivery software which provides a user with a familiar simple user interface (12) to deliver documents to a variety of different destinations. Each document generation device participating in the system is provided with a unified print driver which translates an electronic document into a non-specific or printer independent printer language file and appends to this file a job ticket containing any other rendering characteristics which may not be supported by the printer independent language (24). This entire file is then transmitted to the system server which analyzes the file, including the rendering characteristics; determines the best output device(s); appends output device specific (18) commands to the general printer language file; and transmits this file to the device(s) for final output.</p> |
