Abstract
In some embodiments, an interface is provided that allows a user to view, identify, select, and/or contact one or more remote printing locations (e.g., in proximity to the user). In some embodiments, documents queued for remote and/or mobile printing may be released and/or printed based on proximity of a user to the printing device, or based on a release command provided by the user via the Internet and/or SMS, and/or based on other print-release triggers and/or rules.
