in response to determining the one or more print settings based on the identified one or more features, assigning, by the computer system, a second print device to print the second selection of content to print, wherein the second print device is different than the print device; and initiating, by the computer system, the printing of the second selection of content to print via the second print device, wherein initiating the printing comprises bypassing the one or more subsequent print-related user interfaces such that the one or more subsequent print-related user interfaces are not displayed during the printing of the second selection of content to print. ### Claim 8 A computer system comprising: one or more processors; and a memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processors and having stored therein processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: identify a selection of content, which has been loaded, to print, wherein the selection of content comprises a portion of content displayed; detect an initiation of a first printing operation to print the selection of content, wherein one or more subsequent print-related user interfaces are displayed in response to the initiation of the first printing operation; recognize one or more features included in the portion of content that corresponds to the selection of content to print, the recognized one or more features differentiated from one or more other features not included in the portion of content; determine one or more print settings based on the recognized one or more features of the selection of content to print; in response to determining the one or more print settings based on the recognized one or more features, assign a print device to print the selection of content to print; and in response to determining the one or more print settings based on the recognized one or more features, initiate the printing of the selection of content to print via the print device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein the instructions that when executed by the one or more processors further cause the one or more processors to: execute a first application on the computer system to: identify the selection of content to print; and initiate the printing of the selection of content to print via the print device; and execute a second application on the computer system to: cause the computer system to display the selection of content to print; cause the computer system to display one or more of the one or more subsequent print-related user interfaces in response to the initiation of the first printing operation; and cause the computer system not to display the one or more subsequent print-related user interfaces during the printing of the selection of content. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The computer system of claim 9, wherein: the second application is a browser application; and the first application is configured to execute as a first process concurrently when the browser application is executing in a foreground of a computing session on the computer system. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The computer system of claim 10, wherein the first application is a Java applet that launches automatically in response to the browser application being opened. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein the memory having stored therein further processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: determine a first transaction type associated with the first print operation. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein the selection of content to print comprises a highlighted portion of a webpage. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein the memory having stored therein further processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: identify a second selection of content to print;
