Abstract: In one embodiment, first data pertaining to a software application is obtained at a server system. Second data indicative of capabilities of a web-enabled printer is received at the server system. Third data comprising usage information is received at the server system. An application recommendation is created based at least in part on the first, second, and third data. The recommendation is sent, from the server system and over a web, Internet, or intranet to a receiving destination.

Abstract: In one embodiment, first content is received, via an email address from which printable content is received from a plurality of computing devices, from a network-connected computing device. The first content is stored. An access code is sent to the publisher device. The code is received from a network-connected printer. The code is compared to a database or registry that associates the access code with the first content. The first content is caused to be rendered. The rendered first content is sent to the printer for printing.
