  • Automatic detection and installation of client peripheral devices by a server
    Patent number: 8341621
    Abstract: A server-client system is configured to automatically detect and install peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, etc. that are attached to a client. The server is configured to detect the peripheral device and install a driver that is compatible with the peripheral device. The I/O queue created for the peripheral device is redirected to the port to which the peripheral device is connected.

  • Printer driver identification for a remote printer
    Patent number: 7401113
    Abstract: In a multi-user server-client environment, a printer can be attached to a client computer. The server selects a corresponding printer driver to install on the server in order to allow applications executing on the server to print to the printer attached to the remote client computer. The selection process allows the server to intelligently identify closely matching printer drivers in the event that a particular printer driver that the server is notified of is not available for installation.
