Abstract: A server includes a memory to store instructions, and a processor, coupled to the memory, to execute the instructions to cause the server to receive a wrapper which includes a plurality of items of information. The plurality of items of information are encrypted and pertain to a state of a device which is remotely located from the server, and include at least one item of information regarding a resource or functionality of the device. The processor may execute the instructions to cause the server to decrypt the wrapper including the plurality of items of information, unwrap and de-aggregate the plurality of items of information from the wrapper, and transmit the plurality of items of information to a digital avatar which virtually represents the device to synchronize a state of the digital avatar with the state of the device.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to receive at a print service, a print user interface (UI) request that identifies a web-enabled printer and a print access device, generate a native print UI document that includes print applications registered to the web-enabled printer, convert the native print UI document into a customized print UI document formatted in a UI description language supported by the print access device, and send the customized print UI document from the print service to the print access device.

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and systems are provided for deployment of software tools across a network. One example method includes initiating a discovery mechanism to poll a plurality of computing machines 121-1, . . . , 144-T from a remote deployment system 101 to multiple systems 120/130/140 across a network 108. The multiple systems 120/130/140 include computing machines 121-1, . . . , 144-T having different operating system (OS) types. Respective agents 151 are deployed for each type of OS identified in the response to the discovery mechanism 210/220. Each of the respective agents 151 is configured to manage communications 230 between the deployment system 101 and the different OS types for each of the plurality of computing machines 121-1, . . . , 144-T on the network 108 and to initiate application deployment and monitoring on each of the plurality of computing machines 230.

Abstract: In one embodiment, first data is received at a computer system from a first network-connected printer. The first data includes state data describing a state of a printer application as accessed and viewable by a user at the first printer. The first data additionally includes content to be edited via the application. The first data is sent to a computing device that is configured to provide a user with access and a view to the content via the state. The computing device is additionally configured to enable a user utilizing the application to perform an editing function not available at the first printer. Edited content, that is the result of user editing of the content at the device via the application, is received from the device. The edited content is sent to a network-connected printer for printing.
