摘要： A system and method is provided for providing targeted advertising to a user of a printer assembly having at least one printer device and having data communication capabilities. The printer assembly may include a grid which includes a plurality of printers that share resources and workloads. The aggregator server includes a processor for receiving and storing ad generation criteria from at least one advertiser, receiving target information from at least one printer assembly, and executing a series of programmable instructions. The instructions provide for matching the received target information with stored ad generation criteria, generating ads when a match is found, and delivering ads to the printer assembly for output to a user. Delivery or use of the ad may be verified. Charges may be levied on the advertiser for verified ads and the printer assembly may be credited accordingly, e.g., for subsidizing operating costs associated with the printer assembly.
