Techniques are provided for generating and updating locked print data. An apparatus receives from a first device, document identification data that identifies an electronic document to be printed. In response to receiving the document identification data that identifies an electronic document to be printed, a print preview and a release code for the electronic document are generated. The apparatus sends the print preview and the release code to the first device. The apparatus receives, from a printing device, the release code and print criteria that indicate one or more portions of the electronic document to be printed. The one or more portions of the electronic document comprise less than the entire electronic document. In response to receiving the release code and the print criteria from the printing device, the apparatus provides, to the printing device, print data that includes the one or more portions of the electronic document. |

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable media storing instructions, which, when processed by the one or more processors cause:
receiving, at a network service from a first device that is separate from the network service, an electronic document to be printed;in response to receiving, at the network service from the first device that is separate from the network service, the electronic document to be printed, generating by the network service a release code that uniquely identifies the electronic document that is locked by the network service;sending, from the network service to a user, an email that includes the release code that uniquely identifies the electronic document that is locked by the network service;wherein the release code may be used by a plurality of compatible printing devices to unlock the electronic document to be printed from the network service;after sending, from the network service to the user, the email that includes the release code for the electronic document and before the electronic document is released from the network service to any printing device for printing, receiving the release code and one or more print criteria at the network service from a printing device that is separate from the network service, wherein the one or more print criteria select one or more portions of the electronic document to be printed, wherein the one or more portions of the electronic document are less than the entire electronic document, wherein the release code and the one or more print criteria are input through an operation panel that is associated with the printing device that is separate from the network service;in response to receiving, at the network service from the printing device that is separate from the network service after sending the email that includes the release code for the electronic document and before the electronic document is released from the network service to any printing device for printing, the release code and the one or more print criteria selecting the one or more portions of the document to be printed that are less than the entire electronic document, the network service:
identifying, using the release code received at the network service, the electronic document;generating, from the electronic document to be printed, a new electronic document that satisfies the print criteria and includes the one or more portions of the electronic document comprising less than the entire electronic document;generating print data for the new electronic document; andproviding, from the network service to the printing device that is separate from the network service, the print data for the new electronic document that satisfies the print criteria and includes the one or more portions of the electronic document comprising less than the entire electronic document. |
