Smart display printer

A printer display which allows users to access and edit a document may resolve some problems traditionally associated with the publication process on network printers. This may be accomplished by providing a GUI at the printer at which a user may access, display, and edit a document originally saved to the user's PC. The GUI may allow users to make changes to the document while they are present at the network printer instead of forcing them to return to their PC to make the changes. Additionally, restricting access to the printer display may provide a secure printing environment for the user by controlling who may access a document at the printer or view printed results. Further, limiting GUI and document access may also reduce or eliminate the potential for lost or stolen printed documents.
