Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for secure printing. In one arrangement, the system and method pertain to receiving a document to be printed, determining that the document cannot be printed in its present form, transmitting the document to a computing device, and receiving a print ready version of the document from the computing device. In another arrangement, the system and method pertain to receiving a protected document from a printing device, unprotecting the document, and transmitting the unprotected document back to the printing device so that the printing device can generate a hard copy of the document.
