Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for bidirectional print router communication in a distributed printing environment. In these methods, systems, and devices, a print router receives a print job from a print job source over a unidirectional print data path. The print router forwards the print job to a first print job destination associated with a first printer, and receives a first message from the first printer. The first message may be forwarded to the print job source, and a second message from the print job source may also be received. The print job is then transmitted from the print router to a second print job destination associated with a second printer based on the first message from the first printer, a set of rules, and/or the second message received from the print job source.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for centralized print job routing in a distributed printing environment. A data store may include a first table of identifiers for printers, a second table of identifiers for print servers, a third table of identifiers for drivers, and an association between identifiers of the first, second, and third tables. A print router may be configured to determine a printer selected for a print job. Based on the association between the identifiers of the first, second, and third tables, the print router may map a print server to the selected printer and a driver to the print server.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for centralized print driver distribution in a distributed printing environment. A set of drivers may be stored at one or more centralized data stores, and distributed to print servers. This distribution may occur on a per-print job basis. Drivers may be automatically removed from the print servers based on certain criteria.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for dynamic print server generation in a distributed printing environment. In these methods, systems, and devices, a print router may receive a print job from a print source over a unidirectional print data path. The print router may transmit the print job to a print job destination associated with a printer of a number of printers in communication with the print router. The print router may receive a message from the printer and transmit the message from the printer to the print job source over a network path separate from the unidirectional print data path.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for dynamic print server generation in a distributed printing environment. A data store may store multiple operating systems. A central server computer system is in communication with the data store. The central server computer system may receive notification of a print job, select a printer for the print job, map a stored driver to the selected printer, select an operating system associated with the driver from the data store, and dynamically load the operating system associated with the driver to generate a print server for the print job.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for dynamically manipulating and/or reconfiguring a user interface within a virtual computing environment. Specifically, various systems and methods as provided by the present invention allow for dynamic manipulation or reconfiguration of a user interface within a computing session. Depending on the embodiment, the system and method may be used for sessions provided by an application control environment or a virtual computing environment. Embodiments of the invention enable dynamic manipulation, control, and reconfiguration of the user interface within a computing environment based on user interface rules. These user interface rules may be used to implement policy and access control on users of the computing session.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for allowing a user to control their computing environment within a virtual computing environment. Specifically, various systems and methods as provided by the present invention allow for users to configure their computing environment within a virtual computing environment based on changing locations within a single computing session. Depending on the embodiment, the system and method may be used for sessions provided by an application control environment or a virtual computing environment. Embodiments of the invention allow for user control of the computing environment based on user policy rules. These user policy rules may be used to implement access control on users of the computing session.
