Abstract

See full text

A data processing system and method are described for providing a networked printer's physical location. The printer, a server computer system, and client computer systems are coupled together utilizing a network. The server computer system first transmits a command to the printer to disable the print function of the printer. Entry of a physical location of the printer is then permitted. The print function of the printer is reenabled by the server computer system only in response to an entry of the physical location of the printer into the printer.
