20140132982 | NETWORKED PRINTING SYSTEMS - A system and method for providing printing services to a mobile device connected to a network provides a remote print service provider server and local printers. The mobile device transmits a printer location request to the remote print service provider server. The remote print service provider server determines a physical location of the mobile device; determines which local printers are located within a predetermined parameter of the physical location of the mobile device; and transmits information to the mobile device identifying physical locations of local printers with respect to the physical location of the mobile device. The mobile device selects a local printer identified by the remote print service provider server and transmits, to the remote print service provider server, a print request. The remote print service provider server transmits the print request to the selected local printer. | 05-15-2014 |
20140132981 | NETWORKED PRINTING SYSTEMS - A system and method for enabling content to be displayable in association with a local client printing system associated with a printer provider. The local client printing system, in response to commands entered through the user interface, communicates with a remote printer provider server to retrieve displayable content associated with the commands entered through a user interface. The local client printing system, in response to commands entered through the user interface, communicates with the remote printer provider server to identify the display device upon which the retrieved displayable content is to be displayed. The display device receives, from the remote printer provider server, the retrieved displayable content and displays the retrieved displayable content thereupon. | 05-15-2014 |
20140132980 | NETWORKED PRINTING SYSTEMS - A system and method provide a la carte reproduction services wherein a printing system is capable of performing multiple operational printing modes, but is configured, in a normal operational printing state, to perform a subset of the multiple operational printing modes. The printing system includes a user interface to enable a user to select an operational printing mode. The printing system, in response to a user selecting an operational printing mode not included in subset of the multiple operational printing modes, communicates with a printer service provider server to request authorization to perform the user selected operational printing mode. The printer service provider server requests predetermined information from the printing system, and, upon processing and verification of information received from the printing system, configures the printing system to perform the selected operational printing mode. | 05-15-2014 |
20140132975 | NETWORKED PRINTING SYSTEMS - A system and method provide third party content to a local client printing system through a local client printing system; a content provider server operatively connected to the local client printing system; and a third party content provider server operatively connected to the content provider server.
