Destinations/Queues
For every I/O port on PrintNet, there is at least one pre-defined
logical print queue or destination to accept print jobs destined for it.
This includes print jobs that are sent directly to the I/O port, such as
port 9100. These queue or destination names are pre-defined but
can be changed by the user.
Models
For every destination or queue, there is a pre-defined model
associated with it. The model defines how the print job will be
processed as it passes through to the printer. Models are a set of
mini filters that can be used to modify the print data stream. The
functions available for each model are as follows:
1. Insert carriage return after line feed
2. Insert a banner page before or after each print job
3. Insert header strings
4. Insert trailer strings
5. Log one or all of the following information as each print job
passes through the model
•
Job ID and username
•
User ID and three messages per job about the start and
finish
•
Miscellaneous messages from the printer
•
Status of the printer based on the port interface signals
