Systems and method for activating a confidential print job from a remote
device. A printer receives a print job containing personal and/or
confidential information together with an indication for the printer to
hold, or defer, the print job until an activation command is received. The
print job is not printed until the owner of the information transmits an
activation command from a remote, portable electronic device. This insures
that the owner of the information is present at the printer when the print
job is printer. The owner of the information is thus assured that no
person other than the owner will receive the information.
