System and method to perform mobile printing from handheld devices
First Claim
1. A method for performing document processing operations on a remote image processing device comprising the steps of:
- generating a request for all electronic files located in a selected storage area associated with a selected computing device;
transmitting the request, via an electronic message, to the selected computing device;
receiving, via an electronic message, data representative of the identification data associated with each of the electronic files located in the selected storage area associated with the selected computing device to an associated user;
generating selection data representative of identification data associated with at least one electronic file;
transmitting, via an electronic message, the selection data to the selected computing device; and
receiving the at least one electronic file, via an electronic message, for document processing.

Abstract
A system and method for printing a file on a remote printer via an electronic message. A personal electronic device transmits an electronic message requesting a listing of available electronic files. The personal electronic device then receives an electronic message in response to the request containing a list of available electronic files. At least one electronic file is then selected from among the listing of available files. The personal electronic device then receives, from the remote computer, an electronic message containing the selected electronic file. The personal electronic device then forwards the message containing the file to an image processing device.
