Large volumes of electronic documents can be printed from a network, such
as the Internet, using a batch printing technique. Sizable print jobs are
broken into batches, which are sent sequentially to a printer executable
component at the client side. As one batch finishes printing, another
batch is sent to the printer executable component. Logs are kept so that
if there is an interruption in the printing, a print job can be
re-started at any batch, instead of having to re-start printing in its
entirety from the beginning. The electronic documents may also be
downloaded for storage alternatively or in addition to printing. Stamps
may be applied en masse to the electronic documents to be printed.
