Abstract:
In one embodiment, an email communication is received via a network. The email communication includes a content identifier identifying for-pay content hosted at a provider computing system, a sender identifier identifying a sender of the communication, and a printer identifier identifying a network-connected printer. The sender identifier is compared to a database that associates sender identifiers with payment subscriptions authorizing printing of the content. Responsive to receipt of data indicating the sender identifier is associated with a payment subscription, the content is obtained from the provider system, rasterized, and sent to the printer for printing.
