Abstract
An example of an apparatus includes a network interface to receive print data associated with a user from a first computing device and to receive context data from a second computing device, the second computing device associated with the user, and wherein context data includes a beacon identifier and a global positioning system (GPS) coordinate. 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 select a printing device from the database of printing devices, the printing device associated with the beacon identifier and a predefined area, wherein the predefined area includes the GPS coordinate. The apparatus includes a print engine to generate a notification for the second computing device, wherein the notification prompts the user for a command to send the print data to the printing device.
