A method for managing a print queue over a computer network. The network generally includes at least one user interface, a network server, and at least one print server. The user interface uses a web browser or other mechanism to allow a user to communicate with the network server and the print server. Initially, the user directs the web browser to the network server and chooses a print server. The network server, using device management software, identifies the operating system of the print server and selects a print manager compatible with that operating system. The network server then installs and executes the selected print manager on the print server. Finally, the network server redirects the web browser on the user interface to the print manager on the print server allowing the user to manage a print queue for the print server.
