Embodiment Construction

[0032] Fig. 1 shows an example of a network environment in which the present invention can be applied. In FIG. 1, the network environment is preferably a local area network (LAN), but could be almost any other type of network, including a wide area network, the Internet, or an intranet. The network 1 shown in FIG. 1 generally includes the facilities that constitute a computer network and may include various communication devices, such as routers and data communication hubs (not shown) that provide communication links between various parts connected to the network. . FIG. 1 shows a computer workstation 10 , a print server 31 , an FTP / HTTP server 30 and printers 20 and 21 connected to a network 1 . Each of these sections shown in Figure 1 represent only some of the devices that may be included in a network environment, although numerous other devices may also be connected to the network. However, for the sake of brevity, the description of the present invention will be limited...

Abstract

Creating a locally managed instance of a printer on a workstation which communicates to the printer over a peer-to-peer network by selecting an option to create a locally managed instance of the printer, inputting an identifier of the printer, in response to the input identifier, automatically obtaining printer configuration information and print driver information based at least in part on the input identifier, automatically configuring the printer and installing a print driver based on the obtained printer configuration information and print driver information, and creating the locally managed instance of the printer. The printer configuration information and the print driver information may be automatically obtained from a remote device on the network, such as an FTP server, and a port for communication with the printer may be automatically created. The unique identifier may be a network address of the printer, such as an IP address, a printer name, a DNS name or a NetBios name, and the printer may be a virtual printer, rather than an actual printer installed on the network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the creation of an instance of logical management of a printer on a workstation to which the printer is connected via a peer-to-peer network. More specifically, the present invention relates to generating a locally administered instance of the printer by entering an identifier for the printer, automatically obtaining and installing printer configuration information and print driver information in response to the entered identifier, and generating Example of local management of printers. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, printer instances are generated for server-based printers or local printers in the Windows operating system. As described below, a server-based printer refers to a printer installed on a server and thus employs a server-based printer operation. A local printer is a printer installed on a network that communicates with a workstation via peer-to-peer communication (rather than through a server...
