Overview
1.1
Introduction
The Callisto Configuration Manager is used to configure options for the Callisto Service.
These options determine which printers will be used to process print jobs, and how these
jobs will be printed. By using the Configuration Manager, it is possible to create a set of
rules that give precise control over how printers are utilised.

The Network Administrator has created an Input Queue called IN1_ps, and two Output
Queues called OUTA_ps and OUTB_ps. Together, the queues form a parent/child
relationship with the Input Queue as the parent. The lines denote this relationship.

The User will send their documents to the Input Queue that is visible to them as IN1_ps.
The Input Queue will then decide, using the settings provided by the Configuration
