<div class="content"><p>The Print System Asynchronous Remote Protocol supports
printing and spooling operations between a client and server, including <a href="a98de8d9-8e9e-4cd7-92f7-f9269206a41e#gt_12a6e569-e97c-4761-92f0-e397f8d5125f" data-linktype="relative-path">print job</a> control and <a href="a98de8d9-8e9e-4cd7-92f7-f9269206a41e#gt_b49fcfa1-e15c-4dce-be33-d74d5bfda785" data-linktype="relative-path">print system</a> management. It
is designed to be used asynchronously by clients whose implementations permit
them to continue execution without waiting for a method call to return. </p><p>This protocol is based on the <a href="a98de8d9-8e9e-4cd7-92f7-f9269206a41e#gt_8a7f6700-8311-45bc-af10-82e10accd331" data-linktype="relative-path">Remote Procedure Call (RPC)</a>
