Abstract: Seamless peripheral selection and switching can be provided in a workspace. When a peripheral is to be updated while it is in use, an agent can select another peripheral in the same device class and seamlessly switch to using the selected peripheral while the update is applied. The agent can then seamlessly switch back to using the updated peripheral after the update is complete. In some cases, an update can be applied to a peripheral before a user created a workspace that includes the peripheral.

Abstract: A printing system implements a peer to peer network to manage resources between printing devices, such as configuration settings, software programs, or multifunctional printer (MFP) applications. When a printing device is added to the peer to peer network, it queries an existing printing device for information about its resources. Such information includes versions of the software programs. The information is used to compare the resources at the added printing device to those within the peer to peer network, using the existing printing device. Any differences are resolved by upgrading the resources at the added printing device by retrieving them within the peer to peer network.

Abstract: A communication system may comprise an information processing device and a communication device. Communication between the communication device and the information processing device using the first wireless communication scheme may be performed. The communication device may send the connectable network identification information to the information processing device. Communication between the information processing device and the communication device using the second wireless communication scheme and using the second network may be executed, in case that the first network is not included in one or more networks identified by the connectable network identification information. Communication between the information processing device and the communication device using the second wireless communication scheme and using the first network may be executed, in case that the first network is included in the one or more networks identified by the one or more connectable network identification information.

Abstract: A printing device is configured to perform printing with an allowed print amount. The printing device includes a controller to obtain addition type information representing a first guaranteed print amount or a second guaranteed print amount. The first guaranteed print amount corresponds to a first printing privilege to be purchased manually by a user, and the second guaranteed print amount corresponds to a second printing privilege to be automatically purchased. The controller switches, based on the addition type information, a control mode between a first mode in which the first guaranteed print amount is added to the allowed print amount and a second mode in which the second guaranteed print amount is added to the allowed print amount.
