Configuration for shared client printer

5.6 Configuration for shared client printer

In the case of the shared client printer, the print data is first accepted by the host spooler. The print data is then transferred to the client whereby a distinction is made between printing via the

TSR program (Terminate and Stay Resident) clispool (or clipcach) for MS-DOS clients with LAN Manager V2.2

other servers and clients that can share the printers.

Shared client printer via TSR program

Advanced Server for UNIX reports after spooler acceptance on the relevant client to the TSR program (terminate and stay resident) clispool (or clipcache) that the print data is ready for the PC printer under a specific sharename.

On the client, clispool sets up a connection with the informed server resource using the net use command. The print data waiting on Advanced Server for UNIX is made available to the PC program print via this connection.
