Abstract
Example implementations relate to prohibited previews. The system may include a computing device including instructions executable to send a first image to a printing device, wherein the printing device is prohibited to display a preview of the first image and wherein the computing device is not authorized to print the first image utilizing the printing device. The instructions may be executable to send a second image to the printing device, wherein the second image includes a graphical identifier of a sender. The system may include a printing device including instructions executable to display the second image, receive an authorization to print the non-displayable first image, and print the first image.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a computing device comprising instructions executable to:
- send a first image to a printing device, wherein the printing device s prohibited to display a preview of the first image and wherein the computing device is not authorized to print the first image utilizing the printing device,
- send a second image to the printing device, wherein the second image includes a graphical identifier of a sender;
- and
- the printing device comprising instructions executable to:
- display the second image,
- receive an authorization to print the preview-prohibited first image;
- and
- print the first image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive, at a printing device, a preview-prohibited photograph from a computing device;
- receive, at the printing device, a displayable image identifying a person associated with the preview-prohibited photograph;
- display, on the printing device, the displayable image and a print authorization menu selectable to authorize the printing device to print the preview-prohibited photograph;
- and
- print the preview-prohibited photograph responsive to receiving a selection to authorize the printing device to print the preview-prohibited photograph.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting a first image from a computing device of a sender to a printing device of a receiver, wherein the sender has prohibited the receiver from viewing a preview of the first image;
- transmitting a second image, including a likeness of the sender, from the computing device to the printing device;
- displaying the second image and a printing authorization request for the first image at the printing device;
- and
- printing the first image at the printing device responsive to a printing authorization captured from the receiver.
