Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, client computer, and print method

A client computer comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a software package comprising a printer driver and a print processor, wherein:

• the printer driver is configured, when installed on a client computer:
• to maintain a list of print servers that the client computer can use to send a print job to a printer;
• and
• to render the print job into a page description language;
• and
• the print processor is configured:
• to create a first print queue for sending the rendered print job from the client computer to a first print server and to add the rendered print job to the created first print queue;
• and
• to monitor sending of the rendered print job in the first print queue;
• wherein if the sending of the rendered print job from the client computer to the first print server is not successful:
• the print processor is configured to create a second print queue and to add a duplicate print job to the second print queue by duplicating the rendered print job in the first print queue;
• the printer driver is configured to select a second print server from the list of print servers maintained by the printer driver;
• and
• the printer driver is configured to send the duplicate print job in the second print queue from the client computer to the second print server.

A print method for providing resilient transmission of a print job from a client computer to a print server, the print method comprising:

• installing a printer driver and a print processor on a client computer:
• the printer driver maintaining a list of print servers that the client computer can use to send a print job to a printer;
• the printer driver rendering the print job into a page description language;
• and
• the print processor creating a first print queue for sending the rendered print job from the client computer to a first print server and adding the rendered print job to the created first print queue;
• and
• the print processor monitoring the sending of the rendered print job in the first print queue;
• wherein if the sending of the rendered print job from the client computer to the first print server is not successful:
• the print processor creating a second print queue and adding a duplicate print job to the second print queue by duplicating the rendered print job in the first print queue;
• the printer driver selecting a second print server from the list of print servers maintained by the printer driver;
• and
• the printer driver sending the duplicate print job in the second print queue from the client computer to the second print server.
