Claim:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions which, when executed on a processor, direct a computer to perform a method comprising: writing with a printer driver a first print data file for data to be printed at an identified printer; accessing a configuration file with a printing solution application to obtain a directory address at which data to be printed at the identified printer is to be stored and obtain printer-specific information on formatting data for printing at the identified printer; modifying data of the first print data file to create a second print data file with the printing solution application and writing the second print data file to the directory address, wherein based on the printer-specific information, data in the second print data file is formatted by the printing solution application to be compatible for printing with the identified printer; accessing the configuration file with a print job router application to obtain the directory address; monitoring with the print job router application the directory address to detect the presence of data stored thereat that is to be printed at the identified printer; and responsive to detecting the presence of data stored at the direction address, using the print job router application in: accessing the configuration file to obtain a printer address of the identified printer; and routing data in the second print data file to the printer address for printing.
