<p>Status information concerning a condition of a network peripheral device (11) connected to a network (15,6,19,20) is automatically communicated to a remote service organization (1,3,7,8). First, a condition of the network peripheral device is detected. Then, in response to the detected condition, status information is automatically obtained, the status information corresponding to the detected condition. Finally, upon obtaining the status information, a packet is automatically transmitted to the remote service organization (1,3,7,8) via the network (6,15,19,20), the packet containing the status information.</p> |
