Abstract
Exemplar embodiments for facilitating remote updating of a client device's printer settings in a networked environment are disclosed. An illustrative method includes the steps of receiving information from a network in a client device, the information comprising a predefined printer setting that corresponds to a printer accessible through a print server coupled to the network, and automatically updating a printer setting on the client device to correspond to the predefined printer setting. Illustrative methods may be implemented via an executable program received in the client device by e-mail or as part of the network login process. Illustrative systems and computer readable media also are provided.
