Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a mobile print controller. A document may be determined to in a print queue. The print queue may be operative on a print server computer, a cloud computing service, a mobile computer, or the like. The mobile controller may send a pause command to a printer device associated with the print queue. The document may be acquired from the print queue for processing on the mobile computer. A preview document may be generated on the mobile computer and displayed and edited on the mobile computer. The edited document may be synced with one or more data stores, including the computer that may have originated the print job. And, the updated document may be sent to the printer for printing. A status report may be communicated to the user that corresponds to a result of printing the updated document.
