A remote printing system including a communication port, a printing device, and a measuring device. The printing device prints images received from the communication port, and the measuring device generates image measurement information from the printed image and transmits the image measurement information to the network port. The remote printing system preferably includes an image server located remotely from the printing device and the measuring device. The image server preferably transmits image data to the printing device, whereupon it is printed, and the measuring device then generates and transmits image measurement information back to the image server. The image server may then generate print quality information. Alternatively, the remote printing system includes a computer collocated with the printing device and measuring device. The computer obtains the image source information from the image server and relays it to the printing device. The measuring device generates and transmits image measurement information to the computer. The computer may then determine the print quality locally, without the need to relay the image measurement information back to the image server. Preferably, the computer relays a message regarding the print quality back to the image server.
