Abstract
A method for operating multiple client printing systems is described. The method includes creating an administration account. The method also includes instantiating a printing manager instance for each of the multiple client printing systems. The multiple client printing systems are associated with the administration account. The method further includes presenting a data structure comprising an object associated with each of the multiple client printing systems. The method additionally includes determining license usage data for the multiple client printing systems based on the printing manager instances. The method also includes presenting the license usage data.
Claims14
A method for operating multiple client printing systems, comprising:
- creating an administration account;
- using a printing manager instance for each of the multiple client printing systems, wherein the multiple client printing systems are associated with the administration account, wherein the multiple client printing systems are associated with different organizations, and wherein each printing manager instance manages configuration of printer drivers to utilize printing cloud software for a single client printing system;
- determining license usage data for the multiple client printing systems based on the printing manager instances;
- and
- sending a bill automatically based on the license usage data.
A computing device for operating multiple client printing systems, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable to:
- create an administration account;
- use a printing manager instance for each of the multiple client printing systems, wherein the multiple client printing systems are associated with the administration account, wherein the multiple client printing systems are associated with different organizations, and wherein each printing manager instance manages configuration of printer drivers to utilize printing cloud software for a single client printing system;
- determine license usage data for the multiple client printing systems based on the printing manager instances;
- and
- send a bill automatically based on the license usage data.
A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising:
- code for causing a computing device to create an administration account for operating multiple client printing systems;
- code for causing a computing device to use a printing manager instance for each of the multiple client printing systems, wherein the multiple client printing systems are associated with the administration account, wherein the multiple client printing systems are associated with different organizations, and wherein each printing manager instance manages configuration of printer drivers to utilize printing cloud software for a single client printing system;
- code for causing a computing device to determine license usage data for the multiple client printing systems based on the printing manager instances;
- and
- code for causing a computing device to send a bill automatically based on the license usage data.
