Abstract
Methods of determining a script to facilitate servicing a print request from a source device (e.g., a wireless mobile device) on a printer by a printing appliance are described. A printing appliance maintains a list of textual scripts that are mapped to a plurality of printers by a mapping relationship. For a given printer and requesting source device, if an appropriate script cannot be determined, the printing appliance will contact a server to resolve if a script on the printing appliance is an appropriate script, or whether the server should obtain and provide an appropriate script. A mapping relationship on the printing appliance is updated when an appropriate script is identified or provided by the server.
