At a user terminal (10) operatively connected with a mobile device (20), a
print job is formed into an incomplete print job envelope (32) and
completing data (34, 40) including at least print job accounting
information (40). The completing data (34, 40) including at least the
print job accounting information (40) is stored on the mobile device
(20). The incomplete print job envelope (32) is transmitted to a printing
device (12). The mobile device (20) is operatively disconnected the from
the user terminal (10), and is operatively connected with the printing
device (12). After the operative connecting, the print job is
re-constructed at the printing device (12), and the re-constructed print
job is printed using the printing device (12). A cost of the printing is
accounted for based on the print job accounting information (40) stored
on the operatively connected mobile device (20).
