Abstract

A mobile device generates and transmits to a print cloud server application via email, a print cloud request that specifies information to be printed. The print cloud server application generates and assigns a print job to a printing device group that corresponds to the destination email address of the print cloud request and generates and returns a release code to the mobile device. A user enters the release code at a printing device and the printing device generates and transmits, to the print cloud server application, a request for a print job. The request for a print job includes the release code and data that identifies the printing device group to which the printing device belongs. The print cloud server application releases the print job to the printing device if the printing device and the print job correspond to the same printing device group.
