Examples disclose a method to query an availability of a target device. Additionally, the method generates a document for transmission to the target device based on the availability of the target device.

Document generation based on target device availability

A storage service stores data from a network device. A data collector retrieves the data for the storage service based on reference data passed to the storage service from the network device.

System and method for storage service

For documents to be delivered via an automatic delivery system, a client-server solution ensures that a requested document is delivered and printed for instances when the requested document cannot be published at the time of normal scheduled delivery or print schedule. This aspect is particularly useful when the server is experiencing peak loads or if some document components are not available at the time of the normal scheduled delivery.

Document delivery system for automatically printing a document on a printing device

A computer system includes an application with the ability to select printer settings from any of a variety of potential sources, and associate the printer settings with a document to be printed. The potential sources may include user-selected sets of printer settings that are particular to the document to be printed, are associated generally with the documents to be printed using the application, and globally associated with the computer system. The potential sources may also include a set of content-provider printer settings associated with the document and selected by a content-provider of the document.

Intelligent printer settings

A URL page is printed by a computing system. When a reference to a URL address is dragged and dropped upon a print icon, the URL page is accessed from the Internet. The URL page is then printed on a printer. When the URL page is accessed and printed, the URL page is not displayed to a user of the computing system. Also, when a reference to the URL address for the URL page is dragged and dropped upon a desktop for a computing system, a special icon representing the URL page address is created on the desktop. Upon a user performing a function to activate the special icon, the URL page is printed.
