Systems and methods for overriding a print ticket when printing from a mobile device

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed for overriding a print ticket. An electronic document for printing on a target image output device is identified on a portable computing device. Printing and finishing instructions are selected, based on capabilities of the target device. A request to convert the electronic document to a printable format is transmitted to a separate document conversion service. The electronic document in the form of a printable document having a generic print ticket is received from the document conversion service. The generic print ticket is evaluated, based on the printing and finishing instructions selected for the target device. The generic print ticket is removed from the printable document and a corrected print ticket is produced based on the printing and finishing instructions selected for the target device. The corrected print ticket is injected into the printable document and transmitted from the portable computing device to the target device.
