摘要： Systems and methods presented herein provide for printer discovery with a webpage such that a client device may print the webpage via a remote printing service. The client device retrieves a webpage with an internet browser. The webpage includes a printer detection module that detects printing devices of one data network and transfers their printing characteristics to a print server in another data network. The printer detection module is accessible through the webpage. The printer detection module allows for the selection of one or more of the printing devices. The client device transfers the webpage (or the URL of the webpage) to the print server to render the webpage for printing on the selected printing device. The print server renders the webpage according to the printing characteristics of the selected printing device and then transfers the rendered webpage to the selected printing device via the client device for printing.

摘要： Systems and methods presented herein provide for printing, via a remote printing service, Internet content retrieved by a client device. The retrieved Internet content is Internet inaccessible to the remote printing service as it is viewable within a private network (e.g., an Intranet). In one embodiment, a method includes retrieving the webpage from a data network with a client device, transferring a request from the client device to the remote printing service to render the webpage for printing, and receiving a response from the remote printing service indicating that the webpage is inaccessible. The method also includes storing data of the webpage in the client device and transferring the stored webpage data from the client device to the remote printing service for rendering and printing.
