Abstract

In an example implementation, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to retrieve a unique printer identification (ID) over a short-range wireless communication (e.g., NFC) between a mobile device and a public printer. The processor discovers a current geographic location of the mobile device from GPS technology on the mobile device. The processor then uploads the unique printer ID and the geographic location to a cloud-based print service provider.
