Abstract
An example of an apparatus includes a network interface to receive print data and context data associated with a portable computing device. The apparatus includes a memory storage unit to store the print and context data, wherein the memory storage unit includes a database of printing devices. The apparatus includes a processor to monitor the context data and to select a printing device from the database based on the context data. The apparatus includes a security evaluation engine to determine whether the printing device and the portable computing device are connected via a secure network. The apparatus includes a print engine to route a print job generated from the print data automatically to the printing device when the printing device and the portable computing device are connected via the secure network and to store the print job in a queue when the printing device is outside the secure network.
