Abstract
A system and method that enables scan to print services is disclosed. In one embodiment, Document Reproduction System (DRS) has at least one scan to print job template specifying at least one recipient and at least one printing device. A storage pool service is also provided for storing the job template which is accessible by at least one printing device. A scanner is utilized for receiving a digitized version of a document to be manipulated by the specified job template parameters. The DRS performs the specified operations on the digitized document in accordance with the job template parameters and then the document is forwarded to the recipient's designated printing device.
