Abstract:
Resource information and status information concerning devices connected to a network is acquired and the information is stored in memory. Icons that are capable of identifying the types of devices connected to the network based upon the stored resource information and status of utilization of the devices that is based upon the stored status information are displayed in combination on a display unit. In order to select (S504, S505, S506) either one or both of the resource information and status information and update this information, a device for which information is to be updated is specified from among the displayed icons. Both the resource information and status information, or whichever information has been selected, of the device that has been specified is acquired and the information in memory is updated (S507) based upon this information. Either or both of resource information and status information concerning a device designated on a network by a user can be acquired and the information can be updated.
Abstract:
In a redirect-on-error print system of this invention, when an error notification is acquired, only printer drivers having the same function as that of the printer driver which has output the data to the printer with the print error are listed up from registered printer drivers, and the user is caused to select a redirect-on-error print destination from them so that any inappropriate print output can reliably be avoided. In the redirect-on-error print system, a print job is transmitted to one of a plurality of printers connected to a network. When a print error has occurred in the printer, processing is executed to cause another printer to execute redirect-on-error printing of the print job. In the redirect-on-error print system, the error in the printer which is processing the print job is detected, and the user is notified of it. Of the plurality of printers connected to the network, the printer driver of a redirect-on-error enable printer which can process the print job in behalf of the printer with the error is detected. The user is notified of the detected printer driver as a redirect-on-error destination candidate.
Abstract:
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.
