Abstract: A printing system that includes a personal computer, a primary printer and an alternate printer is described. The primary printer and the alternate printer each include an embedded Web Server. The primary printer can serve a first program to the personal computer upon request. The first program enables the computer to use the primary printer to print a document. In addition, the first program enables the computer to display a hyperlink referring to a second program if the primary printer fails to successfully print the document. The second program enables the computer to print the document using the alternate printer.

Abstract: The method of the invention enables a procedure to handle a large data file, wherein the procedure has a fixed, limited allocation of memory that is less than the size of the data file. The method segments the large data file into one or more subfiles, wherein each subfile is of a datasize that does not exceed the limited allocation. Thereafter, the method sequentially activates the procedure to operate upon each subfile, until all subfiles have been processed.

Abstract: One or more printers on a network are grouped together to form a printer group. A printer group server contains a database of the printer groups on the network. The printer group database includes a list of printers assigned to each printer group in the database. The printer group server communicates with a printer group client and a print server. The printer group client subscribes to one or more of the printer groups. The printer group client resides on a print client device and manages a set of print queues on the print client device. Each printer queue represents one of the printers in the printer groups to which the printer group client subscribes. A printer group is updated by making changes to the printers in the printer group and updating the printer group database to reflect the changes. A change in the printer group database initiates a change in the print queues managed by the printer group client for printer group clients that subscribe to the updated printer group.

Abstract translation: 网络上的一个或多个打印机被分组在一起以形成打印机组。 打印机组服务器包含网络上打印机组的数据库。 打印机组数据库包括分配给数据库中每个打印机组的打印机列表。 打印机组服务器与打印机组客户端和打印服务器通信。 打印机组客户端订阅一个或多个打印机组。 打印机组客户端驻留在打印客户端设备上，并在打印客户端设备上管理一组打印队列。 每个打印机队列代表打印机组客户端订阅的打印机组中的其中一个打印机。 通过更改打印机组中的打印机并更新打印机组数据库以反映更改，更新打印机组。 打印机组数据库中的更改会启动打印机组客户端管理的打印队列的更改，以便订阅更新的打印机组的打印机组客户端。

Abstract: A computer system includes a distributed application program having shared objects on a client workstation and on a server. Installation of the application program assures that an object request broker, a preferential naming service (PNS), PNS registry, and a portion of the application program are executable on the client workstation. In operation, the application program makes a request of the PNS containing an object name and criteria for determining an object reference. The PNS accesses the PNS registry to select candidate records according to the object name and version criteria. In addition, for a tree structured registry, the PNS responds to scope criteria and cross references to identify candidates. A tree structured registry may include references to portions of other tree structured registries. The PNS determines a policy from a candidate record, then determines an object reference by applying the policy. When needed, the PNS activates a local object or contacts a naming service on the server to determine the object reference. The object reference is then provided to the application program. The policy may dictate that candidate records refer only to local objects, only to remote objects, that a local object if viable is preferred, or that a remote object if viable is preferred. The request may include a version criteria directing use of an exact version or use of a latest version.

Abstract translation: 计算机系统包括在客户端工作站和服务器上具有共享对象的分布式应用程序。 应用程序的安装确保客户端工作站上可执行对象请求代理，优先命名服务（PNS），PNS注册表和应用程序的一部分。 在操作中，应用程序发出PNS请求，其中包含用于确定对象引用的对象名称和标准。 PNS根据对象名称和版本标准访问PNS注册表以选择候选记录。 此外，对于树结构化注册表，PNS响应范围标准和交叉引用来识别候选人。 树结构化注册表可能包括对其他树结构化注册表部分的引用。 PNS从候选记录确定策略，然后通过应用策略来确定对象引用。 需要时，PNS激活本地对象或联系服务器上的命名服务以确定对象引用。 然后将对象引用提供给应用程序。 策略可能规定候选记录仅指本地对象，仅引用到远程对象，如果可行，则优选本地对象，或者如果可行的话，优选远程对象。 该请求可以包括指导使用确切版本或使用最新版本的版本标准。

Abstract: A method and memory device enabling a user at a management computer to invoke a function on one or more plural managed units of a peripheral system, each managed unit providing one or more services for one or more client computers. Each service has an associated managed entity (ME) interface that includes reference(s) to one or more management interfaces (MIs), each MI including one or more method(s) for controlling a managed unit to execute a desired action. The method responds to a user selecting an Operation object by (i) determining which MEs associated with the managed units support a designated MI object that will enable execution of the desired Operation, by invoking execution of one or more management interface provider objects on each managed unit to return an answer (ii) passing the list of determined MEs to an Operate method of the Operation object whose task is to perform the desired action by invoking methods on the designated MI(s) associated with one or more of the managed units; and (iii) executing the Operate method to initiate execution, in a managed unit associated with the one or more listed MEs, of said designated management interface object (or objects) which, in turn, cause performance of the desired action by the managed unit.
