Examples disclosed herein provide for the handling of a print job for a printer via a mobile device. The mobile device receives a notification from a computing device to indicate the print job is available for printing. Upon the mobile device joining a wireless network associated with the printer, the mobile device delivers the print job from the mobile device to the printer via the wireless network.

Mobile device for automatically delivering print jobs to printers

A system and method for registering a user with a subscription service for a printer is described. A network-enabled printer can determine when a mobile computing device is brought into a sufficient proximity of the network-enabled printer. The network-enabled printer can receive account information for a user of the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device is brought into the sufficient proximity and transmit the account information to a remote provider in order to register the network-enabled printer and the user with the subscription service.

Method, computer-readable medium, and machine for registering a user with a subscription service using a network-connected printer

Examples disclosed herein relate to providing access to digital content using a machine-readable link. As an example, an annotation comprising digital content, for a portion of a digital content, is identified in response to a print request. Based on the annotations, a machine-readable link associated with the digital content is generated. Subsequently, a printable format version of the digital document comprising the machine-readable link, and excluding the annotation is obtained wherein the machine-readable link is readable by a computing device to obtain access to the digital content over a communication network.

Digital content access using a machine-readable link

A system and method for cloud centric Web out-of-box print experience (WOOBPE) for Web connected printers are disclosed. In one example, a printer is registered with a cloud print service upon the printer coupling to a network. A WOOBPE application is then launched via a computing device to obtain a network identification (ID) of the printer. A user account is then created with WOOBPE service providers for a user of the printer upon obtaining printer specific information using the network ID. Printer email ID is then provided and the printer email ID is then activated and a test page is printed based on the printer specific information. The printer is then claimed by sending the printer specific information to the WOOBPE service providers for subscribing to one or more print services and associating the printer specific information with the created user account.

Simplified WOOBE experience

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.
