System Architecture
We implement NetWare printer sharing functionality into the PrintSir
itself, thus allowing one or more printers attached by a PrintSir to be
connected to the network. We have developed the PrintSir to support both
NetWare print server and remote printer functions:
Embedded print server, which emulates the “
queue management
functionality
” of NetWare print server, PSERVER program
running on the NetWare server. A user first prints a job at a
workstation, the job is routed to a NetWare server, the NetWare
server stores the job in a print queue, then the print server gets
the print job from the queue to printers.
Embedded remote printer, which allows a printer to function
identically to a DOS workst ation running NPRINTER.EXE
program, but without the DOS workstation. A user first prints a
job at a workstation, the job is routed to a NetWare server, the
NetWare server stores the job in a print queue, then the print
server moves the print job from the queue to the remote printer
then to the printer.
