Abstract: An original receipt is created for a document on a server. The receipt is copied from the server to a print job agent. The print job agent requests a page of the document from the server. The server provides the requested page to the print job agent then updates the original receipt to indicate the requested page has been provided to the print job agent. The print job agent communicates the requested page to an output device. The output device prints the page. When the output device has finished printing the page, the output device confirms to the print job agent that the page has been successfully printed. Once the print job agent receives confirmation from the output device that the page has been printed, the print job agent updates the copy of the receipt to indicate that the page has been printed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for monitoring and controlling printing services for a printer using an Internet server. The method includes the step of sending a print job from a client computing device to the printer via the Internet server. The print job can be intercepted as the print job is received by the Internet server. Another step is identifying the client computing device sending the print job using the Internet server. A billing mechanism can be determined at the Internet server for the client computing device sending the print job. A further step is transmitting the print job from the Internet server to the printer to be printed.

Abstract: 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.
