Abstract

The present invention provides a method of controlling print operations via a print server (14) and a printer (16), the method comprissing the steps of: routing a datastream representative of a document to be printed from a workstation (12) to the print server (14); causing the print server (14) to determine from the datastream the type of document to be printed; causing the print server (14) to determine a print format for the document by reference to a first lookup table; and causing the print server (14) to directly command the printer (16) to print the document in said print format.
