SPOOLER -

[sledge]

Hi,
I am new to Windows printing. I have to send a print to a
spooler. To do this I cofigure a printer with NUL port. Sending a
print to this port causes the job to be spooled on a print server (All
these are windows apps). I would like to know the protocol between the
print client and Spooler(Server). I assume it is LPR ? Could someone
throw some light on this ?
Thanks
Sunil

the client spooler communicates to the spooler on the server over RPC
(remote procedure call) and SMB (Server Messaging Blocks). What exactly are
you looking for ?
