A preferred embodiment of the invention relates to a network of interactive printers and the provision of persistent storage of system information. More particularly, the provision of that storage is decoupled from fee-earning activities in the network. That is, it allows a profitable role for a participant who is purely a provider of persistent storage. The printers can access information contained on a system database that is owned and/or operated by a storage provider. The system database includes data indicative of each page that is available to be printed by an interactive printer. That is, the system includes a number of actual physical pages that are printed, each of which correspond to a virtual page represented by the respective page descriptions. While each printed page should have a page description, there may exist page descriptions that do not have actual physical counterparts.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, cette invention concerne un réseau d'imprimantes interactives ainsi que la fourniture d'un stockage persistant d'informations système. Plus précisément, la fourniture de ce stockage est découplée des activités facturables du réseau, et offre ainsi un rôle plus profitable à un participant qui est uniquement un fournisseur du stockage persistant. Les imprimantes peuvent accéder aux informations contenues dans la base de données du système qui appartient au fournisseur de stockage et/ou qui est contrôlée par ce dernier. La base de données du système comprend des données se rapportant à chaque page pouvant être imprimée par une imprimante interactive. En fait, le système comprend un certain nombre de pages physiques réelles qui sont imprimées et qui correspondent chacune à une page virtuelle représentée par les descriptions de pages respectives. Si chaque page imprimée doit une description de page, il se peut que des descriptions de pages n'aient pas de contreparties physiques réelles.
