Resource acquisition with a printing device

This invention relates to methods and systems for accessing resources in a network environment and, in particular, to methods and systems for accessing resources corresponding to a resource locator. A printing device receives information that identifies a resource locator, determines from the resource locator the resource and a location of the resource in a resource system, accesses the resource, and prints the resource. The printing device receives the information from a wireless or direct-connect input device, or the printing device receives an image of the information from a scanning device.
