Abstract: A method of printing an email comprising the steps of sending an email to be printed to an email address associated with a printing apparatus using an email application on a mobile device and receiving identifying information at the email application in response to the sent email. Identifying information is passed from the email application to a printing application. The printing application sends an instruction to print an email to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus retrieves the email for printing from the email address associated with the printing apparatus and prints the email.

Abstract: An image-processing system comprising a peripheral device 10, a web server 12 associated with the peripheral device 10 an application server 13 and a mobile phone 11. The web server 12 is configured to send a registration request to register communication parameters of the peripheral device 10 in association with a piece of identification information at the application server 13. The mobile device 11 is configured to determine the piece of identification information and to send a request to the application server 13 with the determined piece of identification information. The application server 13 is configured to associate the registered details of the peripheral device 10 with the request from the mobile device 11 thereby allowing a connection to be configured between the mobile device 11 and the peripheral device 10.
