Abstract:
In one embodiment, enablement data, indicative of an enablement state of a functionality at a network-connected printer, is received from the printer. Fulfillment data, indicative of a fulfillment state of a condition to the enablement of the functionality at the printer, is received. It is determined whether the enablement data is consistent with the fulfillment data. Responsive to determining that the enablement data is inconsistent with the fulfillment data, a change instruction is sent to the printer over a network to cause a change in the enablement state to another state that is consistent with the fulfillment data.
