Introduction
Callisto Version 2 is a powerful tool designed to give Network Administrators total
control of print management across entire networks and will run on servers or
workstations using Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

How Callisto Works
Callisto works by creating Queues – Input and Output Queues. Output Queues relate
to actual physical printers (or devices) that are visible to the network. Users will not
send their print jobs to an Output Queue directly but will send them to a virtual
queue called an Input Queue. The Input Queue does not relate to an actual physical
printer but simply accepts all print jobs and decides which of the Output Queues is
ready and most appropriate to accept the print job.

OUTB_ps
The Network Administrator has created an Input Queue, IN1_ps, and has connected
this to two Output Queues, OUTA_ps and OUTB_ps. The User will send their print
jobs to the Input Queue that is visible to them as IN1_ps. The Input Queue will
decide, using the settings provided, which of the Output Queues is ready to accept the
print job.

jobs to the Input Queue that is visible to them as IN1_ps. The Input Queue will
decide, using the settings provided, which of the Output Queues is ready to accept the
print job.
The Administrator has considerable control when defining how Output Queues are
used. The decision algorithm uses several threshold parameters for resolving which of
the Output Queues the print job is ultimately sent. For example the Input Queue has
‘Split By Copy Count’ where a job can be split across a number of printers.
Thresholds also define the operating parameters of the Output Queues. A typical
parameter would be ‘Exclusion Rule: Maximum Page Count’ where a printer would
be excluded from use if the number of pages in a print job exceeded this value.
Callisto can, if required, monitor the status of printers i.e. out of paper, paper jam,
door open etc. so this can be involved in the decision making process.

Since printers have differing capabilities, speed, colour, duplex etc. each Output
Queue can be set with different parameters so the full potential of the system can be
realised.
