摘要

A system and method are provided for monitoring and controlling printing services for a printer using an Internet server. The method includes the step of sending a print job from a client computing device to the printer via the Internet server. The print job can be intercepted as the print job is received by the Internet server. Another step is identifying the client computing device sending the print job using the Internet server. A billing mechanism can be determined at the Internet server for the client computing device sending the print job. A further step is transmitting the print job from the Internet server to the printer to be printed.
