Profile and template based dynamic portable user workflow

A method comprising:

• sending, by a printing device, a user profile from a first computerized device over a network as a print ready file of a print job, said sending delivering said print ready file of said print job in a delivery manner that print files are delivered to said printing device in print jobs over said network, said print ready file being distinguished from said print files by identifiers that identify said print ready file as containing said user profile, said user profile comprising at least one template, said template comprising selections of menu options offered by said printing device;
• storing said user profile within a computer-readable storage medium positioned within a printer body housing of said printing device, wherein a user operates said printing device using said profile and said template more than one time;
• presenting said user with an option to access said user profile and said template maintained within said computer-readable storage medium of said printing device, through a graphic user interface of said printing device, each time said user operates said printing device;
• automatically selecting said menu options offered by said printing device according to selected menu options identified by said template, each time said user accesses said user profile and said template;
• and
• performing various operations according to said selected menu options identified by said template using said printing device after automatically selecting said menu options.

A printing device comprising:

• a printer body housing;
• a processor positioned within said printer body housing;
• an input/output device operatively connected to said processor, said input/output device sending a user profile from a first computerized device over a network as a print ready file of a print job, said sending delivering said print ready file of said print job in a delivery manner that print files are delivered to said printing device in print jobs over said network, said print ready file being distinguished from said print files by identifiers that identify said print ready file as containing said user profile, said user profile comprising at least one template, said template comprising selections of menu options offered by said printing device;
• a computer-readable storage medium positioned within said printer body housing and being operatively connected to said processor, said computer-readable storage medium maintaining said user profile, wherein a user operates said printing device using said profile and said template more than one time;
• a graphic user interface operatively connected to said processor, said graphic user interface presenting said user with an option to access said user profile and said template maintained within said computer-readable storage medium of said printing device each time said user operates said printing device, said processor automatically selecting said menu options offered by said printing device according to selected menu options identified by said template each time said user accesses said user profile and said template;
• and
• a printing engine positioned within said printer body housing and operatively connected to said processor, said printing engine performing an operation according to said selected menu options identified by said template after said processor automatically selects said menu options.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program of instructions executable by a computerized device, said program of instructions causing said computerized device to perform a method comprising:

• creating a user profile for printing device operations using a first computerized device;
• creating at least one template within said user profile using said first computerized device;
• and
• sending said user profile from said first computerized device to a printing device, over a network as a print ready file of a print job, said sending delivering said print ready file of said print job in a delivery manner that print files are delivered to said printing device in print jobs over said network,
• said print ready file being distinguished from said print files by identifiers that identify said print ready file as containing said user profile,
• storing said user profile within a computer-readable storage medium positioned within a printer body housing of said printing device,
• said template comprising selections of menu options offered by said printing device,
• wherein a user operates said printing device using said profile and said template more than one time,
• each time said user operates said printing device, said user is presented with an option to access said user profile and to cause said template to automatically select said menu options offered by said printing device, and
• each time said user operates said printing device after accessing said user profile from said computer-readable storage medium of said printing device, said printing device performs operations according to selected menu options identified by said template.
