A printing apparatus determines a user who is logging into the printing apparatus as a job owner in a case where the printing apparatus receives print data through wireless communication in an access point mode.
Claims23
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a wireless local area network interface including a direct wireless function that executes wireless communication between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the printing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- executing a log-in processing that allows a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- starting the direct wireless function based on an instruction from the user who logs into the printing apparatus;
- receiving print data;
- determining whether the received print data was received using the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- identifying a user who is currently logged into the printing apparatus at a time that the print data is received using the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- determining the identified user as an owner of the print data received via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- and
- processing the received print data as print data of the determined owner.
A control method executed by a printing apparatus including a direct wireless function that executes wireless communication between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- executing a log-in processing that allows a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- starting the direct wireless function based on an instruction from the user who logs into the printing apparatus;
- receiving print data;
- determining whether the received print data was received using the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- identifying a user who is currently logged into the printing apparatus at a time that the print data is received using the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- and
- processing, as print data of the identified user, the print data received via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for causing a printing apparatus to execute a control method, the printing apparatus including a direct wireless function that executes wireless communication between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- executing a log-in processing that allows a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- starting the direct wireless function based on an instruction from the user who logs into the printing apparatus;
- receiving print data;
- determining whether the received print data was received using the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- identifying a user who is currently logged into the printing apparatus at a time that the print data is received using the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- and
- determining the identified user as an owner of the print data received via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a wireless local area network interface including a direct wireless function that executes wireless communication between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the printing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- executing a log-in processing that allows a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- starting the direct wireless function based on an instruction from the user who logs into the printing apparatus;
- receiving print data via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- and
- determining, as an owner of the received print data, a user who is currently logged into the printing apparatus at a time that the print data is received via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function.
A control method executed by a printing apparatus including a direct wireless function that executes wireless communication between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- executing a log-in processing that allows a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- starting the direct wireless function based on an instruction from the user who logs into the printing apparatus;
- receiving print data via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- and
- determining, as an owner of the received print data, a user who is currently logged into the printing apparatus at a time that the print data is received via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions for causing a printing apparatus to execute a control method, the printing apparatus including a direct wireless function that executes wireless communication between the printing apparatus and an external apparatus, the control method comprising:
- executing a log-in processing that allows a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- starting the direct wireless function based on an instruction from the user who logs into the printing apparatus;
- receiving print data via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function;
- and
- determining, as an owner of the received print data, a user who is currently logged into the printing apparatus at a time that the print data is received via the wireless communication established by the started direct wireless function.
