Spooler Overview
Figure 1. Printing with the Base Operating System
rembak is a common backend when the remote printer queue simply points to a queue on
another host, better known as a print server. While piobe can perform extensive
manipulation of a print job, rembak just transfers jobs across TCP/IP networks to print
servers. As the Printing with the Base Operating System figure depicts, if the print server is
another base operating system–based machine, rembak transfers the job across the
network to the lpd process, which in turn invokes enq, which creates a JDF, and so on as
described above.
