Patent

CA 2428803

A system and method are disclosed for remotely printing documents from computer applications that generate printable data. In one form, printable data is transferred from a local computer (20) to a remote computer (24) or printer (26) in a data format native to the application (42,62). In another form, a relay server (28) provides a store-and-forward buffer between the local computer (20) and remote computer (24) or printer (26). In another form, a computer-readable medium (53) is encoded with a program to facilitate the transfer of remote print jobs. In still another form, a local computer (20) maintains a list of local and remote printers (22,26) (respectively) that can be used. When a print request is received, the system automatically traverses the list to find the first available printer and sends the print job to it.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé d'impression de documents à distance à partir d'applications informatiques qui produisent des données imprimables. Selon l'un des modes de réalisation, les données imprimables sont transférées à partir d'un ordinateur local (20) à un ordinateur distant (24) ou une imprimante (26)dans un format de données propre à l'application (42,62). Selon un mode de réalisation différent, un serveur de relais (28) fournit une mémoire tampon de stockage et de transfert entre l'ordinateur local (20) et l'ordinateur distant (24) ou l'imprimante (26). Enfin, d'après un autre mode de réalisation, un support lisible sur ordinateur (53) est codé par un programme afin de faciliter le transfert de travaux d'impression à distance. Dans une autre configuration, un ordinateur local (20) conserve une liste d'imprimantes distantes et locales (22,26) (respectivement) qui peuvent servir. Lorsqu'une demande d'impression est reçue, le système parcourt automatiquement la liste afin de trouver la première imprimante disponible et lui envoie le travail d'impression.
