  • Publication number: 20120140265
    Abstract: In one embodiment, source content is obtained from a computing system. A request is received, the request for scheduled automatic delivery, without user intervention, of subscribed-for content to a web-enabled printer.

  • Patent number: 6982804
    Abstract: A computer system includes an application with the ability to select printer settings from any of a variety of potential sources, and associate the printer settings with a document to be printed. The potential sources may include user-selected sets of printer settings that are particular to the document to be printed, are associated generally with the documents to be printed using the application, and globally associated with the computer system. The potential sources may also include a set of content-provider printer settings associated with the document and selected by a content-provider of the document.

  • Patent number: 6928620
    Abstract: A URL page is printed by a computing system. When a reference to a URL address is dragged and dropped upon a print icon, the URL page is accessed from the Internet. The URL page is then printed on a printer. When the URL page is accessed and printed, the URL page is not displayed to a user of the computing system. Also, when a reference to the URL address for the URL page is dragged and dropped upon a desktop for a computing system, a special icon representing the URL page address is created on the desktop. Upon a user performing a function to activate the special icon, the URL page is printed.
