Abstract: A printing system includes an electronic device and a print apparatus. The electronic device includes a central processing unit and a storage device, and generates a print job. The print apparatus executes the print job. The storage device stores a job transmission program. The CPU executes the job transmission program to function as a spool availability determination unit and a job transmitter. The spool availability determination unit executes a determination of whether the print apparatus is capable of spooling an instruction execution type print job as the print job, executed in accordance with a specific instruction. The job transmitter transmits the instruction execution type print job to the print apparatus when the spool availability determination unit determines that the print apparatus is capable of spooling the instruction execution type print job. The spool availability determination unit obtains determination information for the determination from the print apparatus.

Abstract: A printing system includes a data processing device and an image forming apparatus. The data processing device includes a data managing unit, a data transmitting unit, and a partial-data generating unit. The image forming apparatus includes a data reporting unit and a data request unit. The data reporting unit reports interrupted print data as the print data for which the image forming apparatus has terminated performance of a printing at a page in a middle. The partial-data generating unit generates unprinted-page print data as the partial-page print data, the unprinted-page print data being the print data of the pages the printing of which has been un-performed by the image forming apparatus in the interrupted print data. The data transmitting unit transmits the unprinted-page print data generated by the partial-data generating unit to the image forming apparatus when the interrupted print data is requested from the image forming apparatus.

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.

Abstract: Provided is a pull printing system that is capable of improving security performance over that of a typical system. When authentication based on identification information and authentication information of a person providing a transmission instruction from a user terminal is successful, a pull printing server of the pull printing system correlates a printing job from the user terminal with identification information of a person providing an execution instruction from the user terminal, and spools the printing job. When authentication based on identification information and authentication information of a person providing the execution instruction from an MFP is successful, the pull printing server sets the printing job that is related with the identification information of the person providing the execution instruction as a target candidate of pull printing when spooling the printing job that is related with the identification information of the person providing the execution instruction.
