Abstract
A system for printing includes one or more printers, a send platform, a print spooling platform coupled to the one or more printers, and a one-way data link enforcing unidirectional data transfer from the send platform to the print spooling platform, wherein the send platform is configured to receive a print job, convert the print job into a print file in a printable format for the one or more printers, and send the print file to the print spooling platform across the one-way data link, and the print spooling platform is configured to receive the print file from the one-way data link, control spooling of the print file for the one or more printers, and send the print file to the one or more printers, and wherein the one or more printers cannot communicate to the send platform.
