摘要:
The present invention provides a technique capable of preventing, in a system that transmits a print job from a network terminal to a printing apparatus through a print job managing server, useless consumption of a storage area of the printing apparatus and an unnecessary increase in traffic in a network. A print job managing server includes: a transmission-destination-information acquiring unit configured to acquire job transmission destination information for specifying at least one printing apparatus that is a job transmission destination associated in advance with information concerning a transmission source of a print job; and a job transmitting unit configured to transmit the print job to the printing apparatus, which is the job transmission destination, on the basis of the acquired job transmission destination information.

An image forming apparatus performs a user authentication process and performs a private print process according to a request from an authenticated user. When the user requests interruption of the private print which is now performed or it is detected that the user has left a place near the image forming apparatus while the private print is being performed, the image forming apparatus interrupts the private print which is now performed and stores a print state at the interruption time. Further, the image forming apparatus performs a user authentication process and re-starts the private print which is interrupted in response to a re-start request from the authenticated user.

According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a storage unit, a transfer unit, and a management unit. The storage unit stores user identification information and an extension condition with information indicating a print job. If the transfer unit receives an inquiry of a print job including user information from an image forming apparatus, the transfer unit transfers the print job corresponding to the user information included in the inquiry to the image forming apparatus as the inquiry sending source from among the print jobs stored in the storage unit. The management unit deletes a print job, to which an extension condition was added, from among the print jobs stored in the storage unit after the elapse time from the print job receiving time point exceeds the preservation period and the extension condition is then further exceeded.
