The invention relates to a method and a system for printing via
application servers, as well as a corresponding computer program and a
corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used, in
particular, for printing from UNIX and SAP servers to ICA/RDP clients
(ICA=Independent Computing Architecture, RDP=Remote Desktop Protocol).
Print support is provided in client-server architectures which include
application servers (10), wherein an application server (1) is controlled
from at least one client terminal (6) via at least one terminal server
(4), and wherein a print order initiated by a user of the at least one
client terminal (6) and started on the application server (1) is printed
on a desktop printer (7) installed on the client terminal (6), on a
network printer installed locally on the client terminal (6), and/or
outputted via an optical interface of the client terminal (6).
