In a network comprising printers and print servers which retain queues of print jobs, a user is able to survey and view selected portions of the network, either by enumerating printers to be queried directly, or by enumerating servers. By providing substantially simultaneous “views” of printers and queues in servers, problems within a large network can be readily isolated.

A server on a network controls a database which functions as an “asset manager” for a large population of items or assets. For “network” assets which are capable of electronically communicating data about themselves, such as computers and digital printers, relevant data is gathered over the network and entered into the database. For “non-network” assets which are not capable of electronic communication, such as typewriters and furniture, information is gathered into the database by other means. Within the database, the distinction between network and non-network assets is largely hidden.

A port monitor allows a computer, digital camera, or other device to send a print job to a target printer, where the only known information about the printer is its network address. Communication is attempted to the network address, sequentially using each of a plurality of port numbers. If none of the plurality of port numbers is successful in initiating communication to the network address, communication to the network address is attempted using an LPR port number, sequentially using each of a plurality of LPR queue names.

In a system having a plurality of digital printers on a network, when a newly-installed printer is discovered, new printer's object ID is used to determine the type (make and model) of printer. A template printer, of sufficiently similar type, is also identified on the network. Configuration data is then automatically copied from the template printer to the new printer. A central database of configuration data for various printer types is not required.

A computer implemented document-processing system comprises at least one processing element including a receiving component, a target-region identifying component a database and a calculating component. The receiving component electronically receives a print-job specification corresponding to at least one printable document. The receiving component electronically stores the print-job specification. The target-region identifying component operatively identifies at least one target region of a printable document of the at least one printable document. The database stores a plurality of data sources and is in operative communication with the target-region identifying component. Each data source is configured to provide printable data for printing within a target region of the at least one target region received by the target-region identifying component. The calculating component electronically calculates a plurality of prices. Each price of the plurality of prices corresponds to printing the printable data within the target region of the at least one target region as received from a respective data source of the plurality of data sources. Each of the plurality of prices is operatively associated with a respective data source.

A method and system for generating a multi-year variable priced outsourcing contract based on a long term demand forecast utilizing a diffusion model. Historical data comprising print requirements associated with a business process can be determined. The Bass diffusion model can be developed from such historical data in order to forecast a future print demand by estimating a number of customers migrated to an electronic presentment process. A capacity planning approach can be invoked to determine a capacity requirement that matches a projected estimate of the future print demand based on the diffusion model when the outsourcing contract is being developed. An outsourced operation cost can then be developed utilizing the capacity requirement and incorporated into the outsourcing contract. Such an approach can lead to a more optimal contract and therefore improve competitiveness of a vendor associated with such contract.

In the Microsoft Windows 2000™ environment, ports for printers on a network can be created using an AddPort command and XcvData function. By placing pointers within XcvData to data structures, the process of adding ports can be made largely invisible to a user.
