Printing from untrustworthy source

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a system, non-transitory computer-readable medium and method for printing. A configuration is associated with a printing device. If a print request is received from an untrustworthy source, the print request is associated with the configuration such that the printing device handles the print request in accordance with the configuration.

1 . A system comprising:
 a generator which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to generate an identifier and to associate the identifier with a printing device;   a settings module which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to further associate the identifier with a printing configuration that specifies how the printing device handles a print request; and   a job coordinator which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to: determine whether a received print request originates from a trustworthy source; determine whether the received print request satisfies a condition indicated in the configuration; and,   
       if the source is untrustworthy and the print request satisfies the condition, associate the received print request with the identifier such that the printing device prints the received print request in accordance with the printing configuration. 
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the configuration further to specify a quality and quantity of content to print. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the condition comprises a data type requirement. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the condition requires the content to contain a keyword. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the configuration further to indicate an amount of ink to utilize when printing content contained in the print request. 
     
     
         7 . A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions therein which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to:
 associate a configuration with a printing device, the configuration containing information that specify how to handle a print request associated with the configuration;   determine whether a received print request originates from a trustworthy source;   determine whether the received print request satisfies a condition indicated in the configuration; and   if the source is untrustworthy and the print request satisfies the condition, associate the received print request with the configuration such that the printing device prints the received print request in accordance with the configuration.   
     
     
         8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 7 , wherein the configuration specifies a quality and quantity of content to print. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 7 , wherein the condition comprises a data type requirement. 
     
     
         11 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 7 , wherein the condition requires the content to contain a keyword. 
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 7 , wherein the configuration further to indicate an amount of ink to utilize when printing content contained in the print request. 
     
     
         13 . A method comprising:
 associating, using at least one processor, an identifier with a printing device;   associating, using at least one processor, the identifier with a configuration comprising instructions for the printing device when handling a print request associated with the configuration;   determining, using at least one processor, whether a received print request originates from a trustworthy source;   
       determining, using at least one processor, whether the received print request satisfies a condition indicated in the configuration; and
 if the print request originates from an untrustworthy source and the print request satisfies the condition, associating, using at least one processor, the received print request with the configuration such that the printing device prints the received print request in accordance with the configuration. 
 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the instructions in the configuration specifies a quality and quantity of content to print. 
     
     
         15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the condition comprises a data type requirement. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the condition requires the content to contain a keyword. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the configuration further comprises an indication of an amount of ink to utilize when printing content contained in the print request.
