Abstract
In a multi-user server-client environment, a printer can be attached to a client computer. The server selects a corresponding printer driver to install on the server in order to allow applications executing on the server to print to the printer attached to the remote client computer. The selection process allows the server to intelligently identify closely matching printer drivers in the event that a particular printer driver that the server is notified of is not available for installation.
