Abstract: Methods and an apparatus to connect a peripheral device to a wireless network access point are provided herein. A host device associated with a wireless network access point stores and obtains a set of wireless credentials related to a wireless network formed by the wireless network access point. The host device opens a connection between the host device and the peripheral device to transmit the set of wireless credentials from the host device to the peripheral device. The host device identifies the peripheral device over the wireless network access point.

Abstract: A kit, system, and associated methods are provided to facilitate wireless printing. In one embodiment, the system comprises a platform having a processor circuit having a processor and a memory. The system also includes a wireless printing logic stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The wireless printing logic comprises an application capable of a print operation and a number of hidden objects that encapsulate a number of wireless printing tasks associated with a wireless printing operation for the application. The wireless printing logic also includes at least one application programming interface (API) object that provides an interface between the application and the hidden objects, and, at least one platform specific object that encapsulates a number of adaptive wireless printing tasks that are configured for operation on the platform.

Abstract: A system and method of determining a location of a resource device relative to a wireless computing device are provided. The system typically includes receiving a wireless search signal from the wireless device at each of the resource device and a locating device, and calculating a position of the resource device relative to the wireless computing device based on characteristics of the wireless search signal detected at each of the locating device and the resource device.

Abstract: A method includes generating data with an imaging system in response to a request from an information source and decrypting encrypted information received from the information source, using the imaging system and at least part of the data, to form decrypted information. In addition, the method includes forming a second hash from the decrypted information using the imaging system. Furthermore, the method includes forming an image on media using the decrypted information if the second hash equals a first hash received from the information source.
