Abstract:
A print management device includes a queue managing unit, a wireless communication unit, a data storage unit, and a data transmitting unit. The queue managing unit manages queues related to image forming apparatuses. The wireless communication unit communicates with a user terminal in a common wireless printing protocol. The wireless printing protocol does not require a driver individually corresponding to the image forming apparatuses. The data storage unit stores print data received by the wireless communication unit from the user terminal over the communications in the queues managed by the queue managing unit. The data transmitting unit takes out the print data from the queue to transmit the print data to the image forming apparatus related to the queue.
