Abstract
Data processing systems are provided with a mobile print support facility useful for mobile data processing systems such as laptops, notebooks, and the like. When a client data processing system is disconnected from a desired remote print server, or the remote print server is otherwise inaccessible, a local transient printer queue is automatically created and all print jobs submitted by the client data processing system are spooled to the transient printer queue. Once a transient printer queue is created, a mobile print connection manager periodically checks a status of the connection to the remote printer queue. When reconnected, print jobs within the transient printer queue are replayed to the remote printer queue. Print jobs may be replayed in the background or a replay GUI may be spawned to allow the user to manipulate transient printer queues and their contents. The replay GUI allows pending print jobs within a transient printer queue to be redirected to different remote printer queues, print servers, or print devices.
