Abstract
Systems and methods of processing print jobs comprising at least two documents and/or at least two printing devices via a cloud printing service are provided. A network printing server, in a cloud printing environment, can receive instructions to print the documents from any of a plurality of user devices to be printed at printing devices registered to the user device. The network printing server generates a print job for each file-destination pair. For each print job, the network printing server identifies one or more general options that apply to all of the print jobs and one or more detailed options that apply to a portion of the print jobs. The destination printing devices are connected via a public network (e.g., the Internet) to the network printing server that provides a cloud printing service.
