Abstract: A printing system and method are provided that facilitate the mobile printing of a document. The printing system comprises an automated print agent located in a device coupled to a network. The printing system also comprises a network alias associated with a printer coupled to the network, where the automated print agent acting as a network destination for a transmitted document addressed to the network alias. The automated print agent orchestrates the printing of the transmitted document on the printer upon receipt of the transmitted document from a transmitting device.

Abstract: A system, method, and program embodied on a computer readable medium are provided for configuring the automated print agent for printing. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving an email print message addressed to a network alias, the network alias being associated with an automated print agent employed for performing an email print, identifying a printer specified in the email print message, determining if the automated print agent is configured for printing to the printer, and, automatically configuring the automated print agent to print to the printer upon a determination that the automated print agent is not configured to print to the printer.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for brokered rendering. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: examining a document embodied in a non-rendered format in a computer system to identify at least one rendering operation to be performed to convert the document into a rendered format to be employed in printing the document, identifying at least one rendering application capable of performing the at least one rendering operation, and, applying the document to the at least one rendering application to implement the at least one rendering operation.
