A document printing system configured to print documents received from a user device. The system comprises a remote server and a first local print server. The remote server is configured to communicate with one or more local print servers located on respective local networks, including the first local print server. The remote server receives print jobs from remote user devices and to maintain a global queue of print jobs. The first local print server is coupled to a first local network and to an input device for receiving user instructions. The first local print server receives print jobs from user devices, maintains a first local queue of print jobs, processes print jobs from the global queue of documents, and instructs a printing device to print a document in accordance with a print job, based upon user instructions received at the input device. The system is configured to determine whether the first local print server is accessible by a user device issuing a print job and, based on the determination, send the print job to the first local queue or to the global queue.
