A database (108) is created (202) including a software package (110) on a server (104) accessible from a distributed data communication network (112), and a programming plug-in (118) is created and installed (204) for use with a browser (116) on a computer (114). The programming plug-in is for providing compatible communications between the browser and a communication port (128) of the computer. The database is accessed (206) through the distributed data communication network by utilizing the browser to obtain (208) the software package, and a device (134) is coupled (210) to the communication port of the computer. The programming plug-in then programs (214) the device with the software package through the communication port in cooperation with the device.
