一种系统和方法，允许用户操作例如个人电脑、笔记本电脑、PDA、口袋型个人电脑、细胞式电话等的起源设备，经由一"无驱动程序"打印服务器(DPS)系统而打印文档、影像、与网页，不必在该起源设备上加载任何打印设备驱动程序。该服务器系统系利用一表格驱动机构来进行及处理由各种不同软件应用进程所产生的各种不同打印机事件，其中该等打印机事件是属于该等起源设备的操作员要打印的想要文档。对应一文档的打印数据然后在各种不同网络上载输给一选取的目标打印机。该系统能在该DPS服务器电脑与该起源设备之间提供双向通信、以及在该 DPS服务器电脑与该等目标打印机之间提供双向通信。

A system and method that enables users operating originating devices, such as PC's, laptop computers, PDA's, pocket PC's, cell phones, etc., to print documents, images, and Web pages via a ""driverless"" print server (DPS) system without requiring any printing device drivers to be loaded on the originating device. The server system utilizes a table driven mechanism to process and handle various printer events generated by various software applications pertaining to the documents desired to be printed by operators of the originating devices. Print data corresponding to a document is then directed over various networks to a selected target printer. The system provides two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the originating device as well as two-way communication between the DPS server computer and the target printers.
