Abstract
One or more printers on a network are grouped together to form a printer group. A printer group server contains a database of the printer groups on the network. The printer group database includes a list of printers assigned to each printer group in the database. The printer group server communicates with a printer group client and a print server. The printer group client subscribes to one or more of the printer groups. The printer group client resides on a print client device and manages a set of print queues on the print client device. Each printer queue represents one of the printers in the printer groups to which the printer group client subscribes. A printer group is updated by making changes to the printers in the printer group and updating the printer group database to reflect the changes. A change in the printer group database initiates a change in the print queues managed by the printer group client for printer group clients that subscribe to the updated printer group.
