摘要:
To make it easier for a user to print at an intended printing apparatus when performing printing with a printing apparatus which is managed by a server, among printers which were accessed by the user who is a request source, and are at the same location as that specified by the user, the printer capable of printing based on the print setting corresponding to that user is determined as the printing destination.
摘要:
A print server includes a registration unit configured to register a virtual printer according to a printer registration request received from a information processing apparatus, a storage unit configured to store printer information about the virtual printer registered by the registration unit, and a notification unit configured to notify the printing apparatus of a printer registration notification indicating that the virtual printer is registered by the registration unit, wherein the printer information is acquired by the printing apparatus which receives the printer registration notification.

There are provided an information processing apparatus and information processing method, which can implement a job or printer device monitoring scheme that allows the user to easily detect status of printing apparatus in advance. The status of a physical printer device corresponding to a predetermined logical printer, which is set as an object to be monitored, is monitored, and a result based on monitoring is displayed on a computer display as a resident display. For example, when the resident display is displayed as an icon on the task tray on the computer display, it does not disturb display of windows of other document creation applications. Also, the user need not purposely instruct to launch a monitor utility upon printing. Hence, a job or printer device monitoring scheme which is very convenient for the user can be implemented.
摘要:
A print control program executed by an information processing apparatus, which spools print data created and spooled via a print data creation module such as a printer driver again and concurrently performs the re-spooling and output of the print data to a resending destination or an alternate device. It is thereby possible to speed up a throughput of the output on alternation of printing or resending.
摘要:
The print schedules of a plurality of printers are managed. Status data of the plurality of printers are monitored. When any failure has occurred in a printer that serves as an output destination of print data as a result of monitoring, an alternative printer that executes alternative print processing of the print data is selected with reference to the managed print schedules. It is determined based on printer information of the selected alternative printer and the print schedule of the print data in the printer that has caused the failure whether or not the alternative print processing by the selected alternative printer is to be executed. The alternative print processing is executed based on the determination result.
摘要:
A print job icon symbolically representing a print job and printer icons symbolically representing a plurality of printers are displayed on the screen of a display in an information processing apparatus. When a command to transfer the print job icon is issued, whether a requested print job can be transferred to any printer is easily determined. When the print job is selected, the information processing apparatus easily discriminates between a printer able to output the print job and a printer unable to output the print job.
摘要:
A printing system includes a data processing apparatus and a printing apparatus. When a user issues an instruction for performing a print job to the printing apparatus via the data processing apparatus to perform the print job with the printing apparatus, if it is determined that an installation location of the data processing apparatus or the printing apparatus has been changed from a previous print job, the data processing apparatus or the printing apparatus notifies the user of the change in the print environment.
摘要:
This invention provides a load distributed printing technique which efficiently uses a plurality of printing apparatuses by using small resources. To accomplish this, an information processing apparatus, which can transmit a print job to a plurality of printing apparatuses, is provided. The information processing apparatus comprises print queue setting means for setting one of a plurality of print queues corresponding to the plurality of printing apparatuses as a basic print queue and setting remaining print queues other than the basic print queue as backup print queues, print job registration means for registering print job information in the basic print queue, backup job registration means for generating backup job information corresponding to the print job information registered in the basic print queue and registering the backup job information in the backup print queue, and job control means for, when the print job information is registered in each of the basic print queue and the backup print queue, preferentially outputting a print job corresponding to the print job information to a corresponding printing apparatus, and when no print job information is registered, and a print job corresponding to the backup job information can be output, changing the backup job information to print job information and outputting the print job to a corresponding printing apparatus.
摘要:
In a print system including a print server and a plurality of printers, when the occurrence of a failure in a first printer is detected, the print job to be processed first from among the print jobs accumulated in the first printer is identified as the first print job. Print jobs other than the first print job in the first printer are transferred to a second printer, and then deleted from the first printer.
