A method, system, and program product for communicating with machines and end users connected to a network. Information sent to or from the machines is transmitted using electronic mail or a via a direct connection. The electronic mail may be transmitted over the Internet to a service center or from a service center to a resource administrator, but also may remain within a local or wide area network for transmission between a machine and an end user or a resource administrator. E-mail messages may be transmitted from a computer which is attached to a device which is being monitored or controlled and include information regarding the status, usage or capabilities of the attached device. The device may send status messages and usage information of the device by an end user to either a resource administrator or to a service center on the Internet through a firewall. The message may be sent directly to the resource administrator station if an urgent need of the end user is indicated, so that a communication may be sent either directly to the end user or to a device driver so that the device driver may communicate the message to the end user. For example, an end user may have exceeded a predetermined limit of resource usage, and needs to be informed. For routine information, the service center may manage all the resources on an intranet and may send predetermined types of information such as summary information regarding usage of network resources to the end user using e-mail.

1. A method of monitoring usage of a monitored image output device, comprising: receiving a message transmitted using an Internet application-layer protocol over a network, the message comprising information related to usage of the monitored image output device;extracting identifying information of the monitored image output device from the message;extracting information of capabilities of the monitored image output device from the message;extracting information of a number of color pages printed by the monitored image output device from the message; andstoring the information of the number of color pages printed in association with the identifying information in a storage. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating the message; andtransmitting the message over the network using the Internet application-layer protocol. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the monitored image output device is one of a copier and a printer. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of extracting identifying information comprises: extracting a device identifier of the monitored image output device;extracting model information of the monitored image output device; andextracting device type information of the monitored image output device. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the extracting step further comprises: extracting page information of the monitored image output device. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: extracting page information of the monitored image output device from the message. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the information of the number of color pages printed includes the total number of color pages printed. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the information of the number of color pages printed includes the number of color pages printed since a last report. 9. A system, comprising: a computer comprising a processor configured (1) to receive a message transmitted using an Internet application-layer protocol over a network, the message comprising information related to usage of a monitored image output device,(2) to extract identifying information of the monitored image output device from the message,(3) to extract information of capabilities of the monitored image output device from the message;(4) to extract information of a number of color pages printed by the monitored image output device from the message, and(5) to store the information of the number of color pages printed in association with the identifying information in a storage associated with the computer. 10. The system of claim 9, further comprising: a device configured to generate the message and to transmit the message comprising information related to the usage of the monitored image output device over the network to the computer using the Internet application-layer protocol. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the monitored image output device is one of a copier and a printer. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the computer is configured to extract a device identifier of the monitored image output device, to extract model information of the monitored image output device, and to extract device type information of the monitored image output device. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein the computer is configured to extract page information of the monitoring image output device.
