ABSTRACT:
An electronic office equipment network has a plurality of work stations (11) and a plurality of printers (--, 14, 15, 16) connected to a network bus (12). The printers have various options installed as for example hardware attachments for feed paper (22). The network also has a printer resource manager (17) for receiving requests for a printer from the work stations and notifying a work station when a printer can be claimed by the work station. The process of claiming a printer includes the step of specifying those printer options which are required by the work station in order to properly format the printer data stream and control the printer. One such option is the paper feed technique to be used by the printer. The user is given the option of choosing the currently installed printer options thereby allowing the printer to specify the options to the work station.
