ABSTRACT:
A system and method for managing virtual connections between devices on a network system such as a LAN, or a WAN, with or without connection to the public network, including in some cases connection through the Internet. Specifically, the invention involves a computer program that includes a graphical map of a geographical site such as an office building that allows each user using the network to select an output device such as a particular printer and establish a virtual connection between the user's workstation environment and the output device. This invention may also include means to enable the users to easily manage their own printer connections on a complex network system, giving the user more control and reducing the workload on the Information Services staff.
