ABSTRACT:
An augmented operating system printing architecture is provided to permit certain print job attributes from a client to have a desired effect on a print server in a networked environment. The augmented operating system printing architecture includes: 1) an augmented print driver for collecting certain print job attributes and for rendering the print job, 2) an augmented print spooler for processing the print job and for directing the print job to a target device, and 3) an agent service to enable print job attributes collected on the client when a print job is initiated to be used by the print server when the print job is processed. The augmented operating system printing architecture also permits print jobs to be sent to multiple recipients. The augmented print spooler creates multiple copies of the print job when it is directed to multiple recipients, one copy for each recipient.
