Abstract: A job-processing method routes a print job to one of a plurality of printers in a job-processing apparatus. Each printer has a low-power state and a powered-up state. The method comprises: determining a destination printer from print data included in the print job; determining whether or not the destination printer is in the low-power state; if the destination printer is in the low-power state, selecting at least one alternative printer; determining the state of the at least one alternative printer; and, if the alternative printer is in the powered-up state, re-routing the print job from the destination printer to the alternative printer for printing.

Abstract: A print system made up of networked devices, which include a management server, a client, and a printer. The client provides attribute information, indicating at least one attribute of the client, and capability information, indicating a capability of the client, to the management server. The management server uses the capability and attribute information provided by the client to generate a map indicating, for each of a plurality of services forming part of a print process, address information of at least one networked device capable of performing the service. The management server provides the map to the client. The client uses the address information of the map in the performance of the print process.

Abstract: A printing system is provided including a printer server accessible over a first network at a first location and a cloud service accessible from both the first location and a second network at a second network. A user with a client computer moving between the first network and the second network can print using either the printer server, when the user is on the first network, or the cloud service, when the user is on the second network. The client computer is configured detect its location and receive configuration information from the cloud service. The configuration information changes the method used by the client computer to print depending upon the client computer's detected location.

Abstract: A print monitoring system configured to prompt a user to collect at least one output of a printing device. The print monitoring system comprises an imaging device configured to capture at least one image of the printing device. The imaging device comprises determining means for determining, based on the captured image, whether or not the user has collected the output. Prompting means is provided to prompt a user to collect the output in the case that the determining means determines that the output has not been collected from the printing device.

Abstract: A printing system with at least one printer and at least two print servers is provided for printing a print job on a selected printer. The print job is stored on one of the print servers and print job information about the stored print job on the storing print server is shared between the print servers. In case of a request for print out the print job on the selected printer, the print job is sent from the storing print server to the selected printer based on the print job information.
