A system and method for sending facsimile transmissions from mobile devices via web servers wherein a mobile device receives and displays a limited subset of available data on an installed display, a user decides to receive more information than is possible to display on the mobile device display, in hard copy format at a certain locus or elsewhere. The information is ordered using the mobile device and received from the server by facsimile transmission via any facsimile system at any telephone number specified. By this system and method, any facsimile system anywhere becomes an accessible printer. Further, screen snapshots of the limited data appearing on mobile digital communication device displays, complete reproductions of unlimited data represented on the mobile device, and other information specified via the mobile device, including webpages may be reproduced in hard copy format by facsimile transmission.
