20120194850 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO PRINT WITH SETTINGS PROFILES - In one embodiment, a first profile of printing settings is created at a server system. Data indicative of a capability of a first printer is received at the server system. A second profile of printing settings specific to the first printer is created at the server system, the second profile including portions of the first profile consistent with the capability. A first print job is received at the server system over a web. The print job is caused to be printed at the first printer in accordance with the second profile. | 08-02-2012 |
20120274976 | DISTRIBUTED PRINT PROCESSING - In one embodiment, receipt of a print job at a printer is recognized. If the printer has a set of capabilities needed to meet requirements of the job, local processing is performed, and printing of the job at the printer is caused. If the printer does not have the set, and the printer and a print service available to the printer via a network together have the set, the job is sent to the service for remote processing. After the remote processing, the job is received at the printer from the service. Printing of the job, at the printer and in accordance with the requirements, is caused. | 11-01-2012 |

20130077127 | MANAGING NETWORK CONNECTIONS - In one embodiment, a message is received at a network-connectable printer, from a first computer system via a first communication protocol. In response to receipt of the message, a connection between the printer and the network is established via a second communication protocol. A print job is received at the printer via the connection. The print job is caused to print at the printer. The connection is terminated after the print job is printed. | 03-28-2013 |
20130229679 | PRINT SUB-JOB LOGGING - A print job for a document is communicated to a printer. The print job comprises multiple sub-jobs and each sub-job minimally comprises one extractable object from the document. Sub-job print results associated with the print job are logged. | 09-05-2013 |
20150248261 | MANAGING NETWORK CONNECTIONS - A remote server and network connectable printer arrangement is provided. The remote server can send a job availability message via a first communication protocol to the network connectable printer to cause the network connectable printer to establish a network connection. The remote server may then send a print job to the network connectable printer over the network. The network connectable printer may then print the print job and then terminate the connection thereafter. | 09-03-2015 |
