What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: determining at an operator device whether a peripheral device is registered, and registering the peripheral device by directly contacting the peripheral device based upon the determining; displaying in response to a request the status of a plurality of consumables of the peripheral device and information about ordering at least one of the consumables when at least one condition occurs; monitoring for an input indicating that an order for the at least one of the consumables has been placed; and in response to receiving said input, submitting the order for the at least one of the consumables to a supplier if the monitored input indicates an order should be placed, wherein said monitoring and submitting are performed by the peripheral device. 2. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the at least one condition is receipt by the peripheral device of the request for at least one of the status of the consumables and the information about ordering the at least one of the consumables. 3. The method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the at least one condition is an indication in the peripheral device that replacement of the at least one of the consumables is recommended based on at least one criterion. 4. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising confirming the order before the submitting of the order. 5. A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for ordering at least one consumable for a peripheral device which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of: determining at an operator device whether the peripheral device is registered, and registering the peripheral device by directly contacting the peripheral device based upon the determining; displaying in response to the request the status of a plurality of consumables of the peripheral device and information about ordering at least one of the consumables when at least one condition occurs; monitoring for an input indicating that an order for the at least one of the consumables has been placed; and in response to receiving said input, submitting the order for the at least one of the consumables to a supplier if the monitored input indicates an order should be placed, wherein said monitoring and submitting are performed by the peripheral device. 6. The medium as set forth in claim 5, wherein the at least one condition is receipt of the request for at least one of the status of the at least one of the consumables and the information about ordering the at least one of the consumables. 7. The medium as set forth in claim 5, wherein the at least one condition is an indication that replacement of the at least one of the consumables is recommended based on at least one criterion. 8. The medium as set forth in claim 5, further comprising confirming the order before the submitting of the order. 9. A system comprising: an operator system configured to determine whether a peripheral device is registered and register the peripheral device by directly contacting the peripheral device when the peripheral device is not registered; a display system that displays a status of a plurality of consumables in the peripheral device and information about ordering at least one of the consumables when at least one condition occurs; a monitoring system included with the peripheral device that monitors for an input indicating that an order for the at least one of the consumables has been placed; and an ordering system included with the peripheral device that submits, in response to receiving said input, the order for the at least one of the consumables to a supplier if the monitored input indicates an order should be placed. 10. The system as set forth in claim 9, wherein the at least one condition is receipt by the peripheral device of the request for at least one of the status of the at least one of the consumables and the information about ordering the at least one of the consumables. 11. The system as set forth in claim 9, wherein the at least one condition is an indication in the peripheral device that replacement of the at least one of the consumables is recommended based on at least one criterion. 12. The system as set forth in claim 9, further comprising a confirmation system that confirming the order before the submitting of the order by the ordering system. 13. A method for ordering at least one consumable for a peripheral device, the method comprising: determining at an operator device whether the peripheral device is registered, and registering the peripheral device by directly contacting the peripheral device based upon the determining; submitting an order with the peripheral device for the at least one consumable for the peripheral device; processing the order for the at least one consumable, wherein the processing comprises retrieving information about the peripheral device that placed the order and replenishing the at least one consumable based upon a status of the at least one consumable; and determining a distribution of at least a portion of a payment for the order based on the retrieved information, wherein the retrieved information identifies a retailer that sold the peripheral device. 14. The method as set forth in claim 13, further comprising indicating the status of the at least one consumable, wherein the submitting is based on the indicating. 15. The method as set forth in claim 13, further comprising supplying the at least one consumable based on the processed order. 16. A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for ordering at least one consumable for a peripheral device which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of: determining at an operator device whether the peripheral device is registered, and registering the peripheral device by directly contacting the peripheral device based upon the determining; submitting an order with the peripheral device for the at least one consumable for the device; processing the order for the at least one consumable, wherein the processing comprises retrieving information about the peripheral device that placed the order; and determining a distribution of at least a portion of a payment for the order based on the retrieved information, wherein the retrieved information identifies a retailer that sold the peripheral device. 17. The medium as set forth in claim 16, further comprising indicating the status of the at least one consumable, wherein the submitting is based on the indicating. 18. The medium as set forth in claim 16, further comprising supplying the at least one consumable based on the processed order. 19. A system for ordering at least one consumable for a peripheral device, the system comprising: an operator system configured to determine whether a peripheral device is registered and register the peripheral device by directly contacting the peripheral device when the peripheral device is not registered; an ordering system that submits an order for the at least one consumable for the peripheral device based upon a request for a status of the at least one consumable; a processing system that processes the order for the at least one consumable, wherein the order processing system retrieves information about the peripheral device that placed the order including the identification of a retailer that sold the peripheral device; and a payment distribution system that determines a distribution of at least a portion of a payment for the order based on the retrieved information. 20. The system as set forth in claim 19, further comprising an indication system that indicates the status of the at least one consumable, wherein the submitting is based on the indicating. 21. The system as set forth in claim 19, further comprising a supply system that supplies the at least one consumable based on the processed order.
