Image forming apparatus, printer driver, and system for outputting a printed material based on a print job

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a printer driver configured to generate a print job of performing printing using an image forming apparatus and delivering a printed material using a delivery apparatus, the image forming apparatus including a printer that prints an image on a print medium, the printer driver including instructions configured to cause a computer to:

• receive an acknowledgement request for an acknowledgement of receipt of the printed material, the acknowledgement request being transmitted from the image forming apparatus executing the print job in response to receipt of a completion notification indicating completion of delivery of the printed material based on the print job from the delivery apparatus;
• receive, in response to receipt of the acknowledgement request, a user operation of acknowledging receipt of the printed material from the delivery apparatus by a user;
• and
• transmit, in response to the user operation, an acknowledgement notification indicating an acknowledgement of receipt of the printed material by the user to the image forming apparatus.

A system comprising an information processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus that outputs a printed material printed based on a print job to a delivery apparatus and requests the delivery apparatus to deliver the printed material, and the delivery apparatus that delivers the printed material received from the image forming apparatus,

• the image forming apparatus comprising:
• a print unit configured to print an image on a print medium;
• a request unit configured to issue, in response to receipt, from the delivery apparatus, of a completion notification indicating completion of the delivery of the printed material based on the print job, an acknowledgement request for an acknowledgement of receipt of the printed material to an information processing apparatus corresponding to a user based on the print job;
• and
• a receiving unit configured to receive an acknowledgement notification indicating an acknowledgement of receipt of the printed material by the user based on a user operation performed on the information processing apparatus in connection with the acknowledgement request;
• and
• a storage unit configured to store, as a log of the print job, in response to receipt of the acknowledgement notification from the information processing apparatus by the receiving unit, information indicating receipt of the printed material by the user based on the print job,
• the information processing apparatus comprising:
• an operation unit configured to receive, in response to receipt of the acknowledgement request, a user operation of acknowledging receipt of the printed material from the delivery apparatus by the user;
• and
• a first transmission unit configured to transmit, in response to the user operation, the acknowledgement notification to the image forming apparatus, and
• the delivery apparatus comprising:
• a second transmission unit configured to transmit, in response to detection of completion of the delivery of the printed material received from the image forming apparatus, the completion notification to the image forming apparatus.
