摘要：A software architecture for printing to a home printer via a cable televisioncommunication network includes complementary clients and servers executing on each ofthe internet components participating in the internet-based printing. A client executes atthe remote internet-based site that originates the print job, and transmits the print jobto a complimentary server at the cable head end. A server at the cable head end spoolsthe print job and preferably converts the print job into a format more suitable for a next-downstream device, such as a cable set top box. The cable head end further includes aclient which transmits the print job from the cable head end's server to a server at theset top box. The server at the set top box spools the print job to an attached printer.Preferably each of the clients and each of the servers is nearly identical to all otherclients and servers, and each communicates to other applications including clientapplications through a consistent and uniform application programming interface.
