Desktop Exec Client Software for a Canon Group Company

The Office Exec software intercepts print requests from any application and allows the user to specify print, fax, e-mail and storage parameters for the job. The client software then sends the print job via TCP/IP to the server software running on Windows 2000 Server, where the job is routed to the appropriate output device based on the job parameters. Art & Logic used XML and XSLT technologies to create dynamic dialogs that system administrators can easily configure on the server. Art & Logic developed the Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X client software, including a custom Mac OS 9 desktop printer, a custom Mac OS X CUPS backend, and their corresponding client and status applications. more...

Windows Service for Monitoring and Arbitrating Printers

Comprehensive Control Systems makes a line of copier control touch screen products for metering, monetizing, and controlling access to copiers. Industries served include law, accounting, financial, and educational institutions. When they decided to expand their products to network printers, they hired Art & Logic to develop a Windows service to intercept and hold incoming print jobs, collect pertinent information about each job, store the gathered information in a database, and then process or cancel the job depending on business logic provided by another service.
