Abstract
A Universal Print Driver prints to a variety of output devices at the server in a client/server printing environment. The output devices include virtually any computer operated device including all types of printers. The server is either a print server or a web server. When printing using this print driver, web pages are provided by the server and displayed on the client by a browser invoked by the Universal Print Driver. The web pages allow users at the client to select output devices and specify the job submission parameters for the selected device. Application files are printed in electronic format in the output devices through the cooperation of the print driver and the server. Server-provided web pages reflect the output devices installed on the server and permit control and selection of these devices without specific print drivers being installed on the client computers.
