Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented secured enterprise printing system that utilizes a multi-tier enterprise development application programming interface, and operates over a data network, using a data-processing apparatus, comprising: a processor; a data bus coupled to said processor; and a computer-usable medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for: creating, accessing, and manipulating an enterprise print bean by an author, wherein said enterprise print bean comprises a reusable software component that conforms to design and naming conventions that enable said enterprise print beans to be combined to create an application, over said data network using a Web interface; storing and securing said enterprise print bean, using a multi-tier enterprise development application programming-enabled container; authorizing access to said enterprise print bean using a licensed controller; tracking said enterprise print bean creation, access and manipulation activity using an information database; printing a print job associated with said enterprise print bean using an input output terminal; providing a first memory within an application server to process and print said enterprise print bean, and checking said information database for limits, access and status; providing a second memory associated with said multi-tier enterprise development application programming-enabled container to process and print said enterprise print bean, and checking said information database for limits, access, and status; and linking between said Web interface and said information database to allow the enterprise print bean author to set up print and access limitations such as printer feedback, memory of an actual print process, printing security options, document size limitations, a record of how many times a document is printed, and a limitation on number of printing, as part of authoring said enterprise print bean.
