Summary:According to embodiments of the present invention, an apparatus method and system of remote printing is provided. A server connected to a client via a network is operable to host execution of an application for a client, to receive the user-input from the client via the network, and to send user-output to the client via the network. The server receives a print request from the client, which is included in the user-input. The server then generates a universal printer file from the application, based on the print request, and transmits the universal printer file to an electronic mail system for delivery of the universal printer file to a destination specified by the client, for example as an attachment to an email message.
