In order to enable downloading to a mobile printer data items from a server, a method comprising the steps of establishing communication connection end points ('sockets'), communicating with the server, where the communication includes sending a request for authentication to the server, receiving an authentication response, requesting print data portions from the server, receiving the requested print data portions, and notifying the server after each print data portion has been printed. The method also includes the step of terminating their communication connection when a printing session ends or if an error occurs. The method constitutes a printer-server protocol.

Method and system for communicating between a remote printer and a server

A method and system for authenticating print media includes providing a digital memory physically associated with a holder of print media, and storing data in the digital memory, which data is adapted to be authenticated to allow use of the print media. In a preferred embodiment the system and method are capable of detecting the print medium present in a printer and adjusting printing characteristics of a printer with respect to the specific print medium present.
