The task is to print on a (geographically) remote server. This is a
multiuser payable service with web interface. The conventioal printing
settings dialog, which is shown when the document print is called, should be
extended with the price depending on the number of pages and user selected
duplexing-coloring, user credinentals and the controls to assign the
place-time where (s)he wants the hardcopy to be delivered. The
duplexing-coloring could also be the only user printing options (the other
printer caps are printer admin configured at server). The confirmed job
should then go to the server where it is recorded in a database and
scheduled to print. The results of printing are monitored and
post-processed.
I would like to know the proper design to implement that. Can the win2003
Print Server be customized for this purpose or a custom application should
be written? Which drivers are needed?
Thank you.
