1. A method for touchless use of a printing device, comprising:
accessing a printer driver programmed into a host computational device to display a user interface on a display device for input of job settings displayed via the user interface;
displaying a graphical user interface image of the user interface on the display device;
accepting the input of the job settings via the graphical user interface image;
generating a quick response (QR) code by the printer driver having been programmed into the host computational device and using the job settings for contents for the OR code;
displaying the QR code on the display device;
capturing the QR code with a camera of a mobile device programmed with an app; and
converting the QR code into a near field communication (NFC) message by the app of the mobile device; and
communicating the NFC message with a printer job to the printing device to execute the printer job with the job settings.
