A printer selection system includes a communications network linked with a network addressable device. The network addressable device includes a global printer array and an assessor. Through the communications network, the assessor receives from a network user a print command along with network user parameters. With the network user parameters, the assessor selects a localized printer from the global printer array to meet user parameters and to optimize time and printing costs. The assessor selects the localized printer via computer program code accompanying the network addressable device. The program code, in particular, executes a print sequence as well as a printer search routine. Accordingly, the print command is forwarded to the localized printer. The localized printer executes a resulting print job at a minimum distance from the network user and within the network user parameters. |
