Abstract
In one embodiment, first content is received, via an email address from which printable content is received from a plurality of computing devices, from a network-connected computing device. The first content is stored. An access code is sent to the publisher device. The code is received from a network-connected printer. The code is compared to a database or registry that associates the access code with the first content. The first content is caused to be rendered. The rendered first content is sent to the printer for printing.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive, via an email address from which printable content is received from a plurality of computing devices, first content from a network-connected publisher computing device;
- store the first content;
- send an access code to the publisher device;
- receive the code from a network-connected printer, the code having been sent at initiation of a user via a printer application accessible at the printer;
- compare the code to a database that associates the code with the first content;
- cause rendering of the first content;
- and
- send the rendered first content to the printer for printing.
A system, comprising:
- a content receipt module, configured to receive first content, via an email address from which printable content is received from a plurality of computing devices, from a network-connected computing device;
- a content storage module, configured to cause storage of the first content;
- an access code sending module, configured to send an access code to the publisher device;
- an access code receipt module, configured to receive the code from a network-connected printer, the code having been sent as the result of user interaction with a printer application accessible at the printer;
- a comparison module, configured to compare the code to a registry that associates the access code with the first content;
- a rendering module, configured to cause rendering of the first content;
- and
- a content sending module, configured to send the rendered first content to the printer for printing.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions, the instructions when executed by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive, via an email address from which printable content is received from a plurality of computing devices, first content from an internet-connected publisher computing device;
- store the first content;
- generate an access code for retrieval of the first content;
- send the access code and an expiration time to the publisher device via an email communication;
- receive the code from an internet-connected printer, the code having been sent at the initiation of a user via a printer application accessible at the printer;
- determine the code has not expired;
- compare the code to a database that associates the access code with the first content;
- cause rendering of the first content;
- and
- send the rendered first content to the printer for printing.
