Abstract
A method for an online Web Server to process print requests for a remote printing. The request is sent by a client using the Internet Printing Protocol to the Server. The server then parses the request and determines the destination for the print job. The print job is then routed to the destination. If the destination printer does not support the Internet Printing Protocol, then the Server converts the print job to a format compatible with the destination printer and sends the job to the printer.
