Abstract

A method of determining which frame or frames to print in a multiframe or multi-window self-service kiosk environment. A user need only make a simple selection in response to which one or more frames are rationally selected for printing. The frames to be printed are chosen depending for example on rules such as the URL of a web page or frame, on the presence of a meta-tag or selection is preformed by algorithms to decide which frames likely do not contain important information. Such algorithms are based on the frame location and dimensions within a browser window. There is also provided a method of printing on self-service kiosks comprising the step of using a browser or other renderer to write print information to a file, whereafter it can be printed using a self-service kiosk print module providing improved feedback to the control application. The method may also include the step of counting the number of pages after the markup language has been rendered and before it is sent to the self-service kiosk print module, thereby allowing charging a user for the number of pages printed.
