System for printing on a second network from a first network, the server on the second network having a database of user identifiers

摘要

Disclosed is a system for printing from a first network to a printer connected to a second network. The first network has a first server on for receiving a print job, the print job including print code data and user identification data identifying the user on the first network who initiated the print job. The first server transmits the print job over a communication link to a second server on the second network. A print server on the second network has a database that maps the user identification data of the user on the first network to a user identifier on the second network. The printer server when it receives the print job from the second server stores the print job awaiting a request to print out the print job. When the printer server receives a request from a printer to print a print job, the request includes an identifier of the user on the second network requesting the print out, the server identifies a received print job associated with the user identifier in the request, and then if the match is found sends the identified print job to the printer.
