Mechanism that allows initiating print without being aware of the printer email address

摘要

In one implementation, a request for a print job for a printer having an email address is received. An identifier value for the requested print job is provided to a user. An identifier value input by the user is received. The user-input identifier value is verified, and the print job is released for printing based on the identifier value received from the user being successfully verified.
