Image forming apparatus, control method for printing system, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

A control method for a printing system,

• the printing system including:
• an image forming apparatus including a first communication device configured to perform wireless communication, and a second communication device configured to transmit connection information required for establishing the wireless communication using the first communication device;
• a first information processing apparatus which is connected to the image forming apparatus and which includes a user interface configured to provide the connection information;
• and
• a second information processing apparatus which is wirelessly connectable to the image forming apparatus and which is configured to request the image forming apparatus to execute printing,
• the control method comprising:
• transmitting, by the second communication device of the image forming apparatus, the connection information to the first information processing apparatus;
• outputting, by the first information processing apparatus, based on the connection information received from the image forming apparatus, connection information to be provided to the second information processing apparatus, to the user interface;
• and
• establishing, by the second information processing apparatus, based on the connection information acquired via the user interface, the wireless communication using the first communication device to/from the image forming apparatus to transmit print data to the image forming apparatus through the wireless communication.

A control method for an information processing apparatus configured to cause an image forming apparatus wirelessly connected to the information processing apparatus to execute printing,

• the image forming apparatus including a first communication device configured to perform wireless communication, and a second communication device configured to transmit, to another information processing apparatus, connection information required for establishing the wireless communication using the first communication device,
• the control method comprising:
• acquiring the connection information via a user interface included in the another information processing apparatus;
• causing the image forming apparatus to establish the wireless communication using the acquired connection information;
• and
• requesting the image forming apparatus to execute printing through the wireless communication.

Anon-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a printing system,

• the printing system comprising:
• an image forming apparatus including a first communication device configured to perform wireless communication, and a second communication device configured to transmit connection information required for establishing the wireless communication using the first communication device;
• a first information processing apparatus which is connected to the image forming apparatus and which includes a user interface configured to provide the connection information;
• and
• a second information processing apparatus which is wirelessly connectable to the image forming apparatus and which is configured to request the image forming apparatus to execute printing,
• the control method comprising:
• transmitting, by the second communication device of the image forming apparatus, the connection information to the first information processing apparatus;
• outputting, by the first information processing apparatus, based on the connection information received from the image forming apparatus, connection information to be provided to the second information processing apparatus, to the user interface;
• and
• establishing, by the second information processing apparatus, based on the connection information acquired via the user interface, the wireless communication using the first communication device to/from the image forming apparatus to transmit print data to the image forming apparatus through the wireless communication.
