METHOD FOR PROCESSING PRINTING ORDERS IN SERVER-BASED NETWORKS, AND CORRESPONDING SERVER-BASED NETWORK

To create a method for processing print jobs in server-based networks as well as a relevant network, in which the disadvantages of the methods of print processing according to the current technical status can be avoided, it is suggested that a print job which has been generated from an application on the network's server in EMF format be furnished with an identification which lets the print job seem to be in RAW format; that the print job in pretended RAW format be sent to an end device in the network, where the identification is removed and finally the conversion of the EMF file into the print device-specific RAW format is executed with a local printer driver, or that the print job furnished with the identification is forwarded to a print server, where the identification is removed and finally the conversion of the EMF file into the print device-specific RAW format is executed with a local printer driver, and the RAW file is finally sent to the end device.
