Appl. No.:

08/470970

Inventors:

Paul E. Reilly - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Apple Computer, Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

710104, 709200, 709223, 709224, 709250, 358 11, 358 113, 358 115, 358 118

Abstract:

A centralized queue for a network printing system is provided for allowing clients of a network printer to make job requests and enter a spot in a job queue without transmitting the actual print job data to the network. More particularly, an imaging device protocol (IDP) is provided which operates independently of the network layers below and only requires that a transport protocol/port be bidirectional. A wide variety of heterogenous network protocols may be supported by IDP for placing all of the incoming print job information in a print queue regardless of the protocol. Print job information from both IDP and non-IDP protocol/ports may be placed in the print queue by emulating IDP on the non-IDP protocol/ports. As a result, job information for all of the print jobs attempting to access a busy printer may be stored in the print queue so that the print jobs can be printed by the printer with a fair arbitration once the network printer becomes available.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707679

Abstract:

Techniques and systems are disclosed for storing instances of an opaque type in a database according to a direct path loading approach. According to one aspect, an opaque type implementor registers, with a loader application, routines that the opaque type implementor implements. In response, the loader application associates the opaque type with the routines. The loader application reads data that comprises instances of the opaque type. The loader application determines which routines are associated with the opaque type. The loader application invokes the routines, which create an array for storing instances of the opaque type and populate the array with values specified in the data. The loader application converts the array into a data stream that conforms to the format of the database's data blocks. The loader application then streams the data to a database server, which writes the data directly into data blocks in the database.

International Classification:

US Classification:

395114

Abstract:

An architecture for a network printing system is provided that allows the network printer to achieve and enhance two-way communication between the host computers and the printer connected to the network. The architecture layers provide a normalized interface to the layers below so that all of the protocol/ports interact in the same way. More particularly, an imaging device protocol (IDP) and an IDP emulator enable various network service protocol/ports, both IDP and non-IDP ports, to communicate with the network printer by "seamless plug and play" connectivity. Furthermore, this architecture allows host computers to request network printer services through a client service connection protocol (CSCP) and IDP when these protocols are supported and emulates CSCP/IDP interactions when the network services do not support the CSCP/IDP protocols so that print job requests may be executed from the same print queue. This architecture also may be easily extended and integrated with new protocol/ports as they are developed and introduced.

US Classification:

395115

Abstract:

A printing system for producing prints from a job represented by a stream of image data written in a page description language and having a token expressed as a plurality of bits. The stream of image data is generated by and transmitted from an image data source. The printing system comprises an input section, communicating with the image data source, for receiving the stream of image data. The input section includes an arrangement for reading a block of image data to determine the presence of the token in the block of image data. An area, communicating with the input section, is adapted to store the stream of image data. An arrangement, responsive to the reading means determining the presence of the token, is adapted to initiate a selected operation in the printing system after the input section receives a potion of the stream of image data. A parser, communicating with the storage area, is adapted to parse the stream of image data to separate the stream into a plurality of image-related components.
