Benefits of technology

[0010]An approach is provided for processing print data at a printing device. A printing device includes a user interface and a locked print module. The user interface is configured to display information to users and receive user input from the users. The locked print module is configured to examine print data received by the printing device and determine whether the print data should be processed as locked print data. This may include determining whether the print data includes any password commands. If a determination is made that the print data is to be processed as locked print data, then the print data is stored on the printing device and not immediately processed for printing. The locked print module is further configured to authenticate a user via the user interface and upon successful authentication

Problems solved by technology

One of the issues with password protecting documents is that printing devices must be capable of processing the protected print data into a form

Abstract

A printing device includes a locked print module that is configured to examine print data received by the printing device and determine whether the print data should be processed as locked print data. If so, then the print data is stored on the printing device and not immediately processed for printing. The locked print module also authenticates a user and allows the user to request printing of the print data. The user is queried for a password and if successfully verified, the locked print module determines a password type of the password associated with the print data and identifies password control data stored on the printing device that corresponds to the password type. The locked print module processes the print data based upon the password control data to generate processed print data and causes the processed print data to be printed at the printing device.
