Managing network connections

摘要

A remote server and network connectable printer arrangement is provided. The remote server can send a job availability message via a first communication protocol to the network connectable printer to cause the network connectable printer to establish a network connection. The remote server may then send a print job to the network connectable printer over the network. The network connectable printer may then print the print job and then terminate the connection thereafter.

1. A remote server to manage network connections for a plurality of network connectable printers, the remote server comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory resource storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the remote server to:
send, via a first communication protocol, a job available message to a network connectable printer, the job available message indicating to the network connectable printer that a print job is available at the remote server, wherein the job availability message causes the network connectable printer to establish a network connection via a second communication protocol with the remote server; andsend the print job to the network connectable printer via the second communication protocol.
