Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for requesting and receiving print jobs over a communications network. In particular, the present invention enables a user to obtain print jobs at a location which may be unspecified, and which may be remote from the source of the print job. A spooling server (50) is used to store a print job received via the network from a print job source (10). A printer polling device (100), which may be used at a location remote from the client device (10), is capable of polling the spooling server (50) via the network (110) to identify whether any print jobs associated with the printer polling device (100) are available for printing at a printer (120) currently associated with the polling device (100). The spooling server (50) need not initiate contact with the printer (120) through a firewall, since it is polled by the printer polling device (100). Thus, network security is maintained.
