ABSTRACT:
A system for concurrently executing multiple spooling systems having access to the same endpoint for communications in a networked computer system. The computer system includes a client and a server connected to one another via a network. The server includes a print protocol adaptor and a plurality of spooling systems. The print protocol adaptor includes a front-end and a plurality of translators. Each type of spooling system requires a corresponding translator. A plurality of printers is connected to the plurality of spooling systems. Each printer requires a corresponding spooling system. In order to request a print action, the client sends a print request to the server over the network. The print request is in a format specified by the print protocol the client is using. The front-end, based on the destination printer of the print request, determines to which translator the print request should be sent and then sends the print request to the appropriate translator. The translator translates the print request into a format specified by the print protocol the spooling system that handles print requests for the destination printer was designed using and understands, if necessary, and then sends the print request to the appropriate spooling system.
