Abstract

An approach is provided for a service provider to identify documents to include in a client's repository and for the client to print the documents from the client's repository. In an embodiment, a computing device receives authentication information identifying a first user, receives first user information identifying a second user, receives information indicating selection of a one or more particular documents, from a set of one or more documents, and sends document information that at least identifies the one or more particular documents to a repository associated with the second user. A printing device receives second user information identifying the second user, and, in response to receiving the second user information, retrieves the one or more particular documents from the repository based, at least in part, on the second user information. The printing device processes at least one document of the one or more particular documents for printing.

Dependent claims

A computing device configured to:

receive authentication information identifying a service provider user;
retrieve, based on the authentication information, a set of one or more documents that are associated with the service provider user;
wherein the set of one or more documents includes a first list of documents and a second list of documents;
wherein the first list is not editable by the service provider user;
wherein the second list is editable by the service provider user;
receive information, from the service provider user, indicating selection of one or more particular documents from the set of one or more documents;
and
send, to a repository associated with a client user, document information that at least identifies the one or more particular documents;
wherein the client user is different from the service provider user.

6 more elements

One or more computer-readable media storing instructions which, when processed by one or more processors, cause:

receiving, at a computing device, authentication information identifying a service provider user;
the computing device retrieving, based on the authentication information, a set of one or more documents that are associated with the service provider user;
wherein the set of one or more documents includes a first list of documents and a second list of documents;
wherein the first list is not editable by the service provider user;
wherein the second list is editable by the service provider user;
the computing device receiving information, from the service provider user, indicating selection of one or more particular documents from the set of one or more documents;
and
sending, to a repository associated with a client user, document information that at least identifies the one or more particular documents;
wherein the client user is different from the service provider user.

6 more elements

A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, authentication information identifying a service provider user;
the computing device retrieving, based on the authentication information, a set of one or more documents, that are associated with the service provider user;
wherein the set of one or more documents includes a first list of documents and a second list of documents;
wherein the first list is not editable by the service provider user;
wherein the second list is editable by the service provider user;
the computing device receiving information, from the service provider user, indicating selection of one or more particular documents from the set of one or more documents;
and
sending, to a repository associated with a client user, document information that at least identifies the one or more particular documents;
wherein the client user is different from the service provider user.
