Abstract
In an example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, may cause the processor to transmit an email message addressed to an email address associated with an image forming apparatus. Example email message may include content to be printed. Further, instructions may cause the processor to receive a confirmation email message from an email print server in response to the transmission of the email message. Example confirmation email message may include a status update mechanism. Furthermore, instructions may cause the processor to execute the status update mechanism. Example status update mechanism may fetch a print job status indicating a progress of printing the content from the email print server and display the fetched print job status in the confirmation email message.
