Abstract:
1. A method of printing from a computing device, said method comprising: receiving a print task at a local print system component in a first network; acquiring, by communication between a second-network print system component and said local print system component, printer data for a plurality of second-network printers located in a second network wherein said plurality of second-network printers are not directly accessible to said local print system component, wherein said plurality of second-network printers are not detectable to computing devices in said first network and wherein said plurality of second-network printers are in communication with said second-network print system component located in said second network; reconfiguring said print task, wherein said reconfiguring comprises reconfiguring said print task for cluster printing on said plurality of second-network printers; sending said reconfigured print task from said local print system component to said second-network print system component in said second network; and sending said reconfigured print task, from said second-network print system component in said second network, to said plurality of second-network printers in communication with said second-network print system component for printing.
