A system and method for tracking a remote rendering job status within a network. A rendering job in association with address information of a desired rendering device can be transmitted to a mobile print server via a print job submission tool. A tracking email message including one or more action links with respect to the rendering job can be presented to a user in order to track the status of the rendering job. A command can be transmitted back to the mobile print server via an email message by accessing the action link provided in association with the tracking email message. Such an approach provides an effective print governance solution in a wide range of remote rendering applications.
