Summary:A system and method for providing printing services to a mobile device connected to a network provides a remote print service provider server and local printers. The mobile device transmits a printer location request to the remote print service provider server. The remote print service provider server determines a physical location of the mobile device; determines which local printers are located within a predetermined parameter of the physical location of the mobile device; and transmits information to the mobile device identifying physical locations of local printers with respect to the physical location of the mobile device. The mobile device selects a local printer identified by the remote print service provider server and transmits, to the remote print service provider server, a print request. The remote print service provider server transmits the print request to the selected local printer.
