Abstract
A system and method for tracking a remote rendering job status within a network. A rendering job in association with address information of a desired rendering device can be transmitted to a mobile print server via a print job submission tool. A tracking email message including one or more action links with respect to the rendering job can be presented to a user in order to track the status of the rendering job. A command can be transmitted back to the mobile print server via an email message by accessing the action link provided in association with the tracking email message. Such an approach provides an effective print governance solution in a wide range of remote rendering applications.
Claims20
A method for tracking the status of a remote rendering job, said method comprising:
- transmitting a rendering job in association with an address information of a networked rendering device to a mobile print server via a print job submission tool in order to render said rendering job within a network;
- presenting a tracking email message including at least one action link with respect to said rendering job in order to track a status of said rendering job;
- and
- transmitting a command to said mobile print server via an email message by accessing said at least one action link associated with said tracking email message thereby providing an enhanced print governance solution with respect to a remote rendering application.
A system for tracking status of a remote rendering job, said system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to said processor;
- and
- a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for:
- transmitting a rendering job in association with an address information of a networked rendering device to a mobile print server via a print job submission tool in order to render said rendering job within a network;
- presenting a tracking email message including at least one action link with respect to said rendering job in order to track a status of said rendering job;
- and
- transmitting a command to said mobile print server via an email message by accessing said at least one action link associated with said tracking email message thereby providing an enhanced print governance solution with respect to a remote rendering application.
A system for tracking the status of a remote rendering job, said system comprising:

- transmitting a rendering job in association with an address information of a networked rendering device to a mobile print server via a print job submission tool in order to render said rendering job within a network;
- presenting a tracking email message including at least one action link with respect to said rendering job in order to track a status of said rendering job;
- transmitting a command to said mobile print server via an email message by accessing said at least one action link associated with said tracking email message thereby providing an enhanced print governance solution with respect to a remote rendering application;
- and
- providing said rendering job to an appropriate rendering device based on said command in order to thereafter present a confirmation message with respect to said rendering job.
