The subject application is directed to a system and method for user-specific discovery and initiation of a default document processing device. First, a computing device is placed in data communication with an associated data network. Device data corresponding to document processing devices accessible by the computing device is then retrieved. Via the associated data network, data communication is established between the computing device and the document processing devices. The relative location between the computing device and each of the document processing devices is then determined according to the established data communication. A default document processing device subset is thereafter selected from the available document processing devices based upon the determined location. Operation of the document processing device subset is then enabled via the computing device.

System and method for user-specific discovery and initiation of a default document processing device

A system usable by a printing device to print a document. The system includes receiving an e-mail address, a user ID and a password corresponding to an e-mail account, displaying a list of one or more documents stored in the e-mail account, retrieving a document from the e-mail account, and printing the document. In a further aspect, the system includes displaying a list of documents stored in the e-mail account, selecting the document from the list, inputting a first security code into the printing device, and determining whether the first security code is identical to a second security code corresponding to the document.
