摘要： A print relay server is provided which performs processing for causing one or more image forming apparatuses to print a document sent by a transmission device. That one or more image forming apparatuses are located in a second organization which a second person is in. The transmission device is located in a first organization which a first person is in and is operated by the first person. The print relay server includes a hardware processor; and a communication unit; wherein the communication unit receives the document from the transmission device, and, where the first person and the second person are correlated with each other, the hardware processor causes the communication unit to send command data indicating a command to print the document to, among that one or more image forming apparatuses, a destination image forming apparatus used by the second person.

摘要： Due to different formats for print jobs, in particular different means of identifying users, it is a problem how to handle a print job submitted to a cloud printing service, in which a user is identified by first user credentials, for processing by an authenticated printing system for which the user is identified by second user credentials. This problem is solved by a method comprising the steps of: i. obtaining the print job from the cloud printing service, the print job comprising print job metadata comprising the first user credentials, ii. obtaining the second user credentials based on the first user credentials, iii, adding the second user credentials to the metadata, and iv. forwarding at least the print job metadata comprising the second user credentials, to the authenticated printing system for the processing. A system for performing the method is also provided.

摘要： Examples disclosed herein provide methods and systems for the authentication of a print request. As an example, an email service associated with an enterprise network may receive an electronic message having a destination address indicative of a request to print data included in the message, wherein the destination address may have a domain name associated with the enterprise network. The email service may access an authentication service associated with the enterprise network to determine whether a sender address of the electronic message is a valid address to submit print jobs. Upon determining the sender address is a valid address, the email service may forward the electronic message to a cloud print service to prepare the print job comprising the data included in the message for printing.

摘要： According to some embodiments, a document processing unit may receive information associated with a document to be processed. The document processing unit might comprise, for example, a printer, scanner, copier, facsimile machine, or multi-function device. The document processing unit may then automatically analyze the received information in view of at least one pre-determined document policy. The document processing unit may then automatically determine, based on the analysis, whether to apply a policy action, associated with the pre-determined document policy, to the processing of the document. For example, the document processing unit might prevent a document from printing.
