摘要： The technique of the present invention enables quick completion of printing operations even when a large number of print jobs are concentrated on one printer. A print load distribution apparatus 80 monitors the job status in a buffer 55 and the error status of a printing mechanism 51 in a range of preset three computers 50, 60, and 70 among a plurality of computers connected to a computer network. When a number of print jobs are concentrated on one printer (for example, the printer 50) or when one printer (50) is in the error status, the print load distribution apparatus 80 takes in at least one print job stored in the spooling buffer 55 of the corresponding printer (50) and transfers the at least one print job to another printer (60 or 70) in the range of preset three computers 50, 60, and 70.

摘要： When a printer (30) prints a printing job of confidential printing which is a kind of printing of secret documents, even if the printer (30) itself is set to hold printing job data after printing, the printing job data are deleted without being held in a hard disk (32) after printing. Consequently, secrecy on the occasion of printing with some secret such as confidential printing can be heightened.

摘要翻译： 当打印机（30）打印作为秘密文件的一种打印的机密打印的打印作业时，即使打印机（30）本身被设置为在打印之后保持打印作业数据，打印作业数据被删除而不被保持 在打印后的硬盘（32）中。 因此，可以提高在机密打印等机密印刷的情况下的秘密。

摘要： The technique of the present invention increases a variation in status used for management of print jobs, thereby enhancing utility of a printer. In a printing system constructed via a network LAN, a printer PRT includes a job management apparatus that manages statuses of print jobs in conformity with International Standard ISO/IEC10175-1. The job management apparatus has a create control module 6 in addition to diverse functional blocks for processing the print jobs based on the International Standard. When the user gives an instruction ‘create’ to a print job in a ‘held’ status, the create control module 6 creates a new daughter job from the print job in the ‘held’ status as a mother job and executes printing of either the mother job or the daughter job, while keeping at least one print job in the ‘held’ status. This arrangement enables a registered document to be reprinted iteratively at any arbitrary time.

摘要： A standard communication module establishes communication with another wireless communication device via radio waves. A short distance communication module utilizes weaker radio waves than the radio waves used by the standard communication module, in order to establish communication with another wireless communication device. A communication control module activates the short distance communication module to transmit setting parameters, which are used to change settings required for communication in another wireless communication device. This arrangement effectively prevents leakage of the setting parameters to any third person who is beyond the communicable range of the short distance communication module, thus ensuring security for settings in the wireless communication device in a wireless environment.

摘要： Content data (CD) and printer specifying information (PI) generated by encrypting a printer identifier to specify a printer capable of printing this content data (CD) are included in print job data to be transmitted from a content server (44) to a printer (36). The printer (36) which has received the print job data reads and decrypts the printer specifying information (PI) included in the print job data and judges whether the printer identifier included therein coincides with its own printer identifier or not. Only when both printer identifiers coincide, print of the print job data is executed. Hence, unjust copy print of content data can be prevented.

摘要： A printer generates a public key with a passphrase containing at least printer position information, and holds the public key in a public key storage. When transmission of a public key is requested by a print client, the printer reads the public key from the public key storage and transmits the public key. The print clients transmits print transmitting data generated by encrypting print data with the previously acquired public key. The printer which has received the print transmitting data generates a private key with a passphrase containing at least printer position information. The printer decrypts the received print transmitting data with the private key.

摘要： The network printer 30 stores print logs generated after a previous log transmission timing into the log storage area 32b, and then sends the print logs stored in the log storage area 32b to the management server 10 at a next log transmission timing. The network printer 30 stores a log relating to a print job into the log storage area 32b on completion of the whole print job when the next job transmission timing does not come before completion of the print job, while storing a log relating to a print job into the log storage area 32b on completion of every one page included in the print job when the next job transmission timing comes before completion of the print job. This arrangement desirably ensures transmission of logs relating to all jobs generated before each transmission timing to the management server.

摘要： The invention enables to readily download device control software to control device.Once receiving a request from a client PC through a HTTP communication module 10, a printer PT identifies an OS used by the client PC from an environment variable attached to the request through an OS identification module 11. A driver location search module 11 searches a location address of a printer driver corresponding to the identified OS from a driver location database 12. A HTML generation module 14 generates a Web page in which a link to this location address is described and then informs the client PC of it as response via the HTTP communication module 10.

摘要： From a printer, a print client previously acquires printer position information on the printer. For example, when trying to transmit print data to the printer, the print client generates print transmitting data by adding printer position information on the printer to the print data and transmits the print transmitting data. The printer which has received this print transmitting data prints the print data only when the printer position information contained in the print transmitting data coincides with printer position information at this point in time. Consequently, the security of the print transmitting data transmitted from the print client to the printer via a network is ensured.

摘要翻译： 打印机从打印机以前在打印机上获取打印机位置信息。 例如，当打印客户端尝试向打印机发送打印数据时，打印客户机通过将打印机上的打印机位置信息添加到打印数据来生成打印发送数据，并发送打印发送数据。 接收到该打印发送数据的打印机仅在打印发送数据中包含的打印机位置信息与该时刻的打印机位置信息一致时才打印打印数据。 因此，确保了从打印客户端通过网络发送到打印机的打印发送数据的安全性。

摘要： A printer stores printer position information in sequence and calculates its representative value as statistical printer position information by a statistical method. When a public key is requested by a print client, the printer generates a public key with a passphrase containing the statistical printer position information and transmits the public key to the print client. The print client generates print transmitting data by encrypting print data with this public key and transmits the print transmitting data to the printer. The printer generates a private key with a passphrase containing the statistical printer position information at this point in time and decrypts the print data.
