Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating document printing from a portable device, wherein the computer includes a processor, the method comprising: receiving a document at a server; generating a document optical code corresponding to the document, wherein the document optical code comprises a document fingerprint, and wherein the document fingerprint comprises one or more numerical values that are mapped to one or more subsets of document features; communicating the document optical code to the portable device; receiving, from the portable device, the document optical code, and a printer identifier of a printer which does not have a scanning mechanism, wherein the printer identifier of the printer is a printer optical code which does not encode document information and which encodes access information for the printer; retrieving the document based on the document fingerprint included in the document optical code; identifying the printer based on the received printer identifier; and sending the document corresponding to the document optical code to the identified printer to allow the document to be printed by the identified printer.
