Abstract
A method and implementation of network printing is disclosed. A print job is generated from a network client. A runtime printing component is plugged into a networking layer for a network client. Print data is captured from the print job in chunks using the continue printing component. The captured data is fed to a printer controller of a printing system without involving a native print system of a network operating system.
Claims17
A method of network printing comprising:
- generating a print job from a network client;
- plugging a runtime printing component into a networking layer for the network client;
- capturing print data from the print job in chunks using the runtime printing component;
- feeding the captured data to a printer controller of a printing system, without involving a native print system of a network operating system.
