Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes identifying a set of electronic commands for operation of an electronic device, identifying a guest user, and designating permissions for the guest user, command-by-command, in the set of electronic commands for operating the electronic device. A designated permission for an electronic command in the set of electronic commands includes either granting the guest user access to the electronic device with a privilege of using the electronic command to operate the electronic device, or denying the guest user access to the electronic device and the privilege of using the electronic command to operate the electronic device.

Abstract: An example technique includes storing, by an intermediary, a device registration information including at least for a target device, the device registration information including information identifying one or more commands supported by the device, and a device-specific ranking of each of a plurality of transports, receiving, by the intermediary a first message sent via a transport supported by the client application including a device identifier to identify a target device of a plurality of registered devices and a command information identifying a command that is supported by the target device and to be performed by the target device, selecting, by the intermediary, a transport supported by the target device based on the device-specific ranking of the plurality of transports supported by the target device, and sending, by the intermediary to the target device via the selected transport, a second message including at least the command information.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for generating a user interface from a printer description file are discussed. The system comprising an interface module, an option module, and an interface generation module. The interface module may be configured to receive a printer description file comprising a plurality of printer options for a remote printer and the option module may be configured to select a subset of the plurality of printer options for the remote printer based on a list of prioritized printer options. The interface generation module may be configured to generate rendering code based on the subset of the plurality of printer options for the remote printer, the rendering code to enable a computing device to generate a user interface for the remote printer. The rendering code may be transmitted to a computing device in response to receiving, from the computing device, a print request for the remote printer.

Abstract: Methods for sending a file stored in a first format on a non-mobile device to a mobile device in a second format suitable for viewing on the mobile device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request to transmit a file converted from a first format to a second format to a mobile device, and storing the file in the second format suitable for viewing on the mobile device. The method also includes sending an access notification for the converted file to the mobile device. The access notification provides access to the converted file. Systems, graphical user interfaces, and machine-readable media are also provided.
