Abstract
Previous printers were designed to print a paper copy of data and/or receipts which causes a disconnect with modem day data manipulation. This printer interface can print data to and receive data from the internet and hand held devices which will open up extremely fast data exchange and data manipulation for consumers, cities, states and the federal government without the expense of having to purchase complete new systems. By simply changing out an old printer we can connect all old computer systems with modem day systems that now have the ability to manipulate data automatically.

A printout redirection system, requiring no alteration of the printout generating device, comprising:
- a first computer, generating printout information, wherein the printout information is sent for printout to an attachable printer;
- a first wired connection with a first side connected to the first computer and a second side configured to connect to an attachable printer, the first wired connection conveying the printout information;
- a printout redirector, comprising:
- a receiver connected to the first wired connection's second side and receiving the printout information from the first computer;
- a first wireless transmitter configured to transmit the received printout information directly to a first portable device;
- and
- a wireless receiver configured to receive printout authorization information directly from the first portable device;
- and
- a program running on the first portable device which, via a choice or setting in the program, redirects incoming printer information to at least one of a printer, secondary portable device, internet website, accounting website, second computer, and network accessible by the first portable device,
- wherein printout information from the first computer intended for a printer can be wirelessly transmitted directly to the first portable device without requiring a modification to the first computer.
