Abstract

One example discloses a network system for obtaining a network resource for printing. The network system can comprise a system comprising a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions can comprise a server comprising a message analyzer. The message analyzer can receive a list of network resources based on a network search executed for query data included in a query print message received at the server. The message analyzer can also select a network resource from the list of network resources that is determined to be a best match for the message to provide a selected resource. The server can manipulate the selected resource into a format for printing to provide a manipulated resource.

Claims

1. A network system for obtaining a network resource for printing comprising:

a system comprising;

a memory for storing computer executable instructions; and

a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising;

a server comprising a message analyzer to;

receive a list of web pages based on a web search executed for query data in response to a query print message received at the server, wherein the query print message is one of a short message service (SMS) message and an email message, and the query print message comprises;

the query data;

a request identifier; and

a request for the web search and a print job based on the web search; and

select a web page from the list of web pages based on the query print message to provide a selected web page;

wherein the server is to manipulate the selected web page into a format for printing to provide a manipulated resource, wherein the manipulating comprises selecting a proper subset of content in the selected web page for printing.

2. The network system of claim 1, wherein the server is further to convert the manipulated resource into a set of commands for executing a print job.

3. The network system of claim 2, wherein the server provides the set of commands in an instruction message to a printer.

4. The network system of claim 1, wherein the query data includes data structured as a query for a search engine of the web.

5. The network system of claim 1, wherein the selected web page includes an advertisement and the server is further to remove the advertisement from the selected web page to provide the manipulated resource.

6. The network system of claim 1, wherein the selecting of the selected web page is based at least in part on a review of web searches similar to the web search executed for the query data in response to the query print message.

7. A method for obtaining a network resource for printing comprising:

receiving a query print message,

wherein the query print message is a short message service (SMS) message, the query print message comprises;

query data;

a request identifier; and

a request for a web search and a print job based on the web search;

selecting, from a list of web pages returned from the web search based on the query data, the web search being executed in response to the request for the web search in the query print message, a selected web page based on the query print message; and

generating a command set based on the selected web page for a printer associated with a sender of the query print message in response to the request for the print job in the query print message.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising manipulating the selected web page to provide the selected web page in a format suitable for printing.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the manipulating comprises selecting a proper subset of content in the selected web page for printing.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the selecting of the selected web page is based at least in part on a review of web searches similar to the web search executed for the query data in response to the request for the web search in the query print message.

11. A system for obtaining a network resource for printing comprising:

a printing system coupled to a network, the printing system comprising;

a memory for storing computer executable instructions; and

a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising;

a printer server comprising;

an on ramp to receive a query print message from a client computer;

a message analyzer to;

facilitate a web search in response to the query print message, the web search being based on query data included in the query print message, wherein the query print message is one of a short message service (SMS) message and an email message; and

provide a selected web page from a list of web pages returned from the web search that has a highest likelihood of being a match for the query print message;

an off ramp to;

manipulate the selected web page into a format suitable for printing to provide a manipulated resource, wherein the manipulating comprises selecting a proper subset of content in the selected web page for printing;

generate a command set for a printer based on the manipulated resource; and

provide an instruction message that includes the command set to the printer;

wherein the query print message comprises a request for the web search and a print job based on the web search.
