Abstract
A system and method are provided for updating location information associated with a printer resource stored in a printer resource registry in a network resource access system. Updating the location information for the printer resource may involve obtaining a unique identifier for the printer resource, determining the location of the printer using GPS or other location based services, authenticating access to the printer resource registry, and submitting the location information to the printer resource registry. Systems for updating location information in the resource registry may operate on the printer resource by itself or in conjunction with a mobile device. System may operate autonomously or provide a user interface for a system administrator to update location information.
