Abstract
The method and system allow a user to launch, on an web-enabled device, a client application that retrieves images from a social networking database. The client application displays the retrieved images available for printing to a user, and in response to receiving a selection of an image, the client application retrieves social networking attributes associated with the selected image from the social networking database. In response to receiving one or more social networking attributes from the user, the client application transmits the selected image and associated social network attributes to a proprietary server. Moreover, upon receiving print order information, the client application additionally executes a location awareness application that determines a current location of the web-enabled device and subsequently, determines a proximal retail store to the current location of the web-enabled device. Thereafter, the remote printing system creates and transmits a print order that includes the selected image to the retail store for pickup.
