Abstract
A method for printing a print ready file transmitted by a print client on an imaging device includes creating a print data file associated with the print ready file, where the print data file includes information pertaining to the print ready file and the imaging device. In the method, the print data file is encrypted and transmitted to the imaging device. In addition, the print data file is authenticated in the imaging device and printing of the print ready file is enabled if the print data file is determined to be authentic and the print ready file is invalidated if the print data file is determined to be inauthentic. Also disclosed is an imaging device configured to perform the aforementioned method.
