A printer on a network is selected to receive a file to be printed on the instigation of a mobile device. At least one user preference is wirelessly sent from the mobile device to a networked print controller. The print controller has access to the predetermined properties of a plurality of networked printers. At least one of the predetermined properties of the printers are then matched with the at least one user preference, which results in the selection of one or more printers which are suitable for printing the file. The predetermined properties of the networked printers can include the strength of signals between a wireless communications point on the network and the printers to identify the closest set of printers, and/or the size of paper the printer holds, the number of print jobs in the print queues, etc.
