发明名称 Method for configuring a computer to use a remote device
摘要 The method involves a user first sending or otherwise initiating an email to a remote device such as a printer. In the alternative, the printer device gains access to one or more end user's email addresses. Once obtained, the printer device automatically sends a reply email back to the user, preferably with a greeting or other message, with a package attached thereto or otherwise associated therewith containing installation software along with other configuration software and tools. Upon receipt of the installation package from the printing device, the end-user would click on the installation software, or preferably, an installation wizard or other interface program with preset defaults would guide the end-user through installation process. The software would query the end-user's computer to understand the computer's configuration. The necessary modifications and/or configuration changes to the end-user's computer would occur sufficient to allow the end-user to operate the networked remote printer device therefrom. Thereafter, the networked printing device would be ready for use from that user's computer.
