Techniques are provided for processing scheduled and secured print requests. In one embodiment, a printing device receives a notification form a network service that a request to print an electronic document has been received. The printing device determines whether the request indicates secure printing of the electronic document. In response to determining that the request indicates secure printing of the electronic document, the printing device prompts, through a user interface, a user for a release code. In response to receiving the release code, the printing device sends the release code to the network service. The printing device receives, from the network service, access data that allows for retrieval of the electronic document. The printing device downloads the electronic document based on the access data received from the network service and generates print data for the electronic document. |

1. A printing device comprising:
a user interface; and a print agent configured to cause:
receiving, from a network service, a notification that the network service received a request to print an electronic document from a client device that communicates with the network service over a network, wherein when secure printing is requested, the request includes a release code, and wherein when scheduled printing is requested, the request includes scheduling data that specifies a time for the printing device to receive the notification from the network service;determining whether the notification indicates secure printing or scheduled printing of the electronic document, wherein the notification includes lock data to indicate, without providing the release code, secure printing of the electronic document;in response to determining that the notification indicates scheduled printing of the electronic document:
requesting access data from the network service;in response to requesting the access data from the network service,
receiving the access data from the network service;identifying, by the print agent from the access data received by the network service, a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that identifies a network location for retrieval of the electronic document and that was received from a network service without prompting for a release code;wherein the access data including the URL is received by the print agent at a time scheduled by the network service;downloading, by the print agent, the electronic document from a network location identified by the URL that allows for retrieval of the electronic document without prompting for a release code;in response to determining that the notification includes lock data that indicates, without providing the release code, secure printing of the electronic document:
prompting, through the user interface, a user for the release code that the network service uses to authenticate the user;in response to receiving the release code, sending the release code to the network service;after sending the release code to the network service, receiving, by the print agent from the network service, access data including the URL that allows for retrieval of the electronic document;wherein receipt of the URL indicates that the release code was successfully verified by the network service;in response to receiving the access data including the URL, downloading, by the print agent, the electronic document from a network location identified by the URL received from the network service; andprinting of the electronic document. |
