A proxy software service determines all I/O devices independent of subnet location, on a network; provides a network interface on a wireless subnet that can receive and respond to requests; responds to such requests for each I/O device so identified so that the I/O device is available to the wireless device user for device selection; transfers and translates, if necessary, the IPP stream received from the wireless device to the network address of the I/O device so that the I/O device simulates a compliant I/O device; and transfers and translates, if necessary, all necessary status and command messages from the present protocol to the protocol supported by a legacy I/O device.

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for printing on a paper-like device are disclosed. For example, the method includes configuring a print path to the paper-like device, providing an option to print a document on the paper-like device, receiving a selection of the option to print the document on the paper-like device and sending a print command to the paper-like device via the print path to print the document on the paper-like device.

Mobile devices enable users to access data and documents in a convenient portable format. The disclosed method and system enables management of permissions associated with documents to be transferred/moved onto a mobile device for review or reference by making the transfer simple and straight forward so that it may be easy for non-technically literate users using a printer driver metaphor on a sending device such as a personal computer.

A method includes causing a display by a first device of a user interface containing a visual representation of content accessed from a source remote from the first device. Responsive to a user's selection of a first control associated with the user interface, a hard copy representation of the content is caused to be generated. Responsive to a user's selection of a second control associated with the user interface, an electronic file representation of the content is caused to be communicated to a second device remote from the first device.

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for printing on a paper-like device are disclosed. For example, the method includes configuring a print path to the paper-like device, providing an option to print a document on the paper-like device, receiving a selection of the option to print the document on the paper-like device and sending a print command to the paper-like device via the print path to print the document on the paper-like device.

The present specification provides an managing a document using printer emulation.
