  • Patent number: 6714964
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to sending data (e.g. print data or a document), in a network environment, to a port monitor, and to upload the data to an upload manager for storing in a database. Relevant data may be sent from a print spooler to the port monitor invoking an upload manger to convey (e.g. securely or non-securely) print data to a web server. A version manager determines whether the print driver being used to print data is authentic, and data are written to a web server as packets of information and sent to a database for storage. Additionally, a system, method and recordable medium are recognized whereby a pass through (e.g. a port monitor filter) is inserted between a print spooler and a port monitor in order to detach the port monitor from the print spooler such that object code can be upgraded for future versions of software.
