Abstract
A user interface receives instructions to retrieve a remote electronic document maintained within a print queue of an external server. A pause-and-reset print menu option is displayed on the user interface. Based on the user interface receiving selection of the pause-and-reset print menu option, printing the remote electronic document is begun and paused, to print a partially printed document. An inquiry regarding whether the partially printed document is acceptable is displayed on the user interface. Based on the user interface receiving input that the partially printed document is acceptable, the remainder of the remote electronic document is printed. Based on the user interface receiving input that the partially printed document is unacceptable, printing the remainder of the remote electronic document is canceled, and the print queue of the external server is reset to indicate that the remote electronic document has not been printed.
