Zusammenfassung:The method involves detecting existence of peripheral devices e.g. printer, on a computer network. Information descriptive of the peripheral devices is obtained either from the devices or from a user, upon detecting existence of the peripheral devices on the network. A logical representation of the detected devices is created based on the obtained information. A driver for the detected device is installed. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a computer system including a processor (b) a computer-readable medium including instructions to perform a method of supporting a network-connected hardware devices.
