A printer connectivity component, cooperable with a web browser to connect a workstation to a printer comprises means to read a configuration file, where the file comprises data defining a connection to the printer, accessed from the browser, and means responsive to the data to enable the workstation to connect to the printer. The component may be a helper application or a browser plug-in. The file may comprises fields indicating the printer's location, a protocol for connecting to the printer and a printer driver. The component may also comprise means (32,34) for installing the protocol and driver if they are not installed on the workstation, or if the driver which is installed is not the latest version. |
