Method and system for remote access and customization of internally generated printing node status report
First Claim
1. A printing node, comprising:
- a network interface; and
a processor communicatively coupled with the network interface, wherein the processor is adopted to receive a request for printing node status information via the network interface and in response to the request generate printing node status information, format the printing node status information in an internal printing format, reformat the printing node status information in a customizable viewing format and transmit a response including the reformatted printing node status information via the network interface.

Abstract
Methods and systems for facilitating remote access and customization of internally generated printing node status reports. In some embodiments, the methods and systems advantageously facilitate remote access and customization of internally generated printing node status reports by adapting preexisting features that generate local hard copies of printing node status reports in response to locally initiated commands. Such adaptation enables a printing node to receive, process and respond to remotely initiated requests for printing node status reports in a manner that permits remote customization of the style of printing node status reports.
