Abstract
A system and method for selective group printing at discounted pricing facilitates a user to select one or more public electronic documents for printing. The user creates a print group for their job and publishes an electronic list of print group jobs, including job properties, print timing and print location. Users who wish to have the same documents printed can elect to join the group to allow for discounted pricing. When it is time to print jobs associated with the group, group members are notified and can proceed to the designated printer to release their jobs.
