Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for printing independent of location and using a universal print module comprises a computing device having a print anywhere sending module and a printer having a print anywhere receiving module coupled by a network. The print anywhere sending module is adapted to interface with the computing device to generate a print file. The print anywhere sending module broadcasts the availability of a print file or job and transmits that print job to a responding print anywhere receiving module. The print anywhere receiving module interfaces with the printer to provide the print file and to print the file. The present invention also includes a variety of methods including a method for printing, a method for printing using a universal print module, and a method for printing using the print key.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A computer implemented method comprising: receiving, with one or more processors, a document and one or more parameters specifying how the document should be printed; generating, with the one or more processors, a print file based on the document and the one or more parameters specifying how the document should be printed, the print file having a generic filename; detecting, with the one or more processors, creation of the print file by polling a f…
