ABSTRACT:
A print manager method and system for controlling printing of print jobs in a network includes at least one copying machine, at least one terminal, and an object request broker. In particular, the copying machine has a CPU for controlling the copying machine, a memory for storing control programs and the copying machine's appearance data, and a communication device for transferring the data. The appearance data includes a picture of the appearance of the copying machine, a picture of an operation panel of the copying machine, and specifications or status information of each device of the copying machine. The terminal is connected to the copying machine, and has a display device for displaying the data from the copying machine, a pointing device for pointing to a part of the displayed image on the display device, a communication device for transferring coordinate numerical data corresponding to the part of the displayed image pointed to by the pointing device. The object request broker is connected to the copying machine and the terminal, under a CPU control, and includes a memory for storing control programs for controlling the object broker, a service controller for controlling the interface between the copying machine and the terminal and for selecting the best available copying machine for that terminal.
