Method, system, and program for reconfiguring logical printers in a network printing system

摘要

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for reconfiguring multiple logical printers from using a first monitor program to using a second monitor program to communicate with one physical printer. The monitor program submits print jobs directed to a logical printer to one associated physical printer over a network. At least one physical printer is associated with each logical printer. A determination is made of a plurality of logical printers and whether each physical printer associated with each of the plurality of logical printers is of a particular class. An indication is made in a data structure of each logical printer associated with one physical printer of the particular class. Each of the plurality of logical printers indicated in the data structure is reconfigured to use the second monitor program to submit print jobs to one physical printer of the particular class.
