When the image file is processed, the processing comprising appending a user identification to the file. A destination driver is invoked, which creates raw print data from the image file for each selected driver. The raw print data is sent to the server, wherein the server parses the raw data and determines the user identification. The raw print data can then be sent to the user's inbox on the server. In a preferred embodiment, the user identification comprises the sequence of ASCII 60 (or 3C hex), the username, and ASCII 62 (or 3E hex), or “<username>”.
