Cross-network printing method and device based on drive and storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a cross-network printing method and device based on drive and a storage medium. A client is driven to acquire unique identification codes of selected printers and printing tasks, and the printing contents in the printing tasks are converted into printing data, so that the size of t data for sending is reduced, and network resources are saved. If it is detected that the printers are not in the same local area network according to the unique identification code.the driving client establishes communication connection with the printer and sends printing data to the printerto finish printing The driving client automatically recognizes the printing mode and completes data conversion and sending, user operation is greatly simplified, a user only needs to generate the printing task in a traditional mode, operation does not need to be conducted through a cloud server, and cross-network printing is achieved under the condition that user operation habits are not changed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of printer data processing, in particular to a driver-based cross-network printing method, device and storage medium for printers. Background technique [0002] Traditional printers usually use the printer driver in the Windows system, which only supports USB connection printing or printing through user equipment under the same local area network. As printers are used more and more widely, cross-network or remote printing scenarios where the printer and the user device are not in the same local area network are often encountered, such as the user device is in a store and the printer is in a warehouse. Traditional driver methods cannot To achieve cross-network printing, the files can only be printed out locally and transferred manually, which is very inefficient. In order to solve cross-network printing, most of the existing solutions use cloud printing as a solution. The user uploads the printed document to the cloud...

[0002] Traditional printers usually use the printer driver in the Windows system, which only supports USB connection printing or printing through user equipment under the same LAN

As printers are used more and more widely, cross-network or remote printing scenarios where the printer and the user device are not in the same local area network are often encountered, such as the user device is in a store and the printer is in a warehouse. Traditional driver methods cannot To achieve cross-network printing, the files can only be manually transferred after printing locally, which is very inefficient

In order to solve cross-network printing, most of the existing solutions use cloud printing as a solution. The user uploads the printed document to the cloud server, then selects the printer in the cloud server, and controls the printer to complete the printing through the driver installed in the cloud server. But now Some cloud printing is quite different from traditional printing in terms of operation, requiring users to have a certain understanding of the operating system of the cloud server. For users who are used to local printing in LAN, the user experience is very bad.
