Abstract:
The invention relates to a client-server network, to an interpreter that can be installed on the server of the network, and to a method for operating such a client-server network. The invention is characterized in that files are stored on the server which can be called up by the client and which, according to the invention, comprise both language elements that can be run on the client as well as language elements that can be run on the server. An interpreter is provided on the server which interprets the language elements that can be run on the server and which runs the same. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the language elements that can be run on the client correspond to a markup language, such as SGML, XML, HTML. When establishing these files, the user can then use known auxiliary means thereof to create the files, which are normally common word processing programs, in order to provide individual applications on the server of the network. Said applications can be called up by any client using a conventional browser. The invention is especially suited for controlling devices, in particular, printers and printing systems in addition to the corresponding pre-processing and post-processing devices due to the fact that the control intelligence is centrally stored on the server and, as a result, can be used by many clients. In addition, the data transfer between the clients and the server is held to a low level. The invention is additionally characterized in that a trading of, for example, print jobs between a plurality of servers can be implemented using simple means.
