摘要： An amount of print substance in a printing device as well as an amount of print substance that should be in the printing device are identified. A difference between these amounts is determined and the difference compared to a threshold value. A determination that print substance has been removed from the printing device is made if the difference exceeds the threshold amount.

摘要： Systems, methods, computer-readable medium, graphical user interfaces, print drivers, and other embodiments associated with processing print requests is provided. In one example system, the system comprises a print delay logic configured to delay processing of print requests until a selected print request is claimed. An input device can be configured to receive a claim request from a user desiring to claim one or more print requests, the claim request including charge account information. An identification logic can be configured to identify one or more print requests for which the user is an owner based, at least in part, on the claim request, and can be configured to cause the identified one or more print requests to be processed. A payment logic can be configured to charge an account using the charge account information from the claim request.

摘要： Methods and systems for enhancing the input fidelity of personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other handheld stylus-engagable computing devices are described. In some embodiments, this can be done by associating input commands with different user-input activities, including different combinations of user-input activities. By using different combinations of user-input activities to designate particular input commands, a more robust collection of commands can be provided to a user in a manner that is simple, straight-forward and easy to understand.

摘要： A print job is received (e.g., by a print server) that has an associated print destination. A determination is made as to a first location associated with a source of the print job. Another determination is made regarding a second location associated with the print destination. A printing policy associated with the print job is identified. The print job is communicated to the print destination if the print job satisfies the printing policy. The printing policy may determine whether the first location is the same as the second location. Also, the printing policy may determine whether the first and second locations are located in a common facility (such as a hotel) and whether the second location is in a controlled area of the common facility (such as the front desk).

摘要： A system and method for proper authorization of printing services is described. The system and method allows networks to control which users have access to printing services and the type of services they may utilize. In one exemplary implementation, the system supports a communications link, an agent, and a server. The agent provides an interface connection between a user and the communications link. The agent also assigns an authorization code to a header of a print job sent by the user. A monitoring device for the communications link receives the print job and verifies whether the authorization code is valid, prior to permitting the print job to be sent to a printer.

摘要： Various systems and methods are provided for monitoring and supporting a number of peripheral devices. In one embodiment, a network is provided that comprises a local agent in a local server that is in data communication with the number of peripheral devices. An amount of status information is obtained from the peripheral devices and stored in the local server. The network also includes a central monitoring system in a central monitoring server that is in data communication with the local agent. A copy of the status information is transmitted from the local agent to the central monitoring system and stored in the central monitoring server. Also, a status board is maintained by the central monitoring system, the status board indicating at least one service event associated with an operation of at least one of the peripheral devices.
