A method performed by a print service provider (PSP) for printing, including: (a) obtaining from a network a print job issued by a mobile device and specifying a printer feature; (b) obtaining a first location on a planned route of a user of the mobile device; (c) determining a first printer having the printer feature and located within a predetermined distance of the first location; (d) sending a notification identifying the first printer to the mobile device; (e) determining if a deviation from the planned route exists; (f) if the deviation exists, repeating the steps (b) through (e) for a revised route; and (g) if the deviation does not exist: receiving a confirmation for the first printer; and sending the print job to the first printer in response to the confirmation. The first printer generates a hardcopy document from the print job using the printer feature.
