Abstract
In a method for controlling transfer of print jobs by an information processor in a print system configured by information processors and an image forming apparatus, multiple print jobs based on application data are received, and the multiple received print jobs are grouped and managed as grouped jobs. Control is performed so that the multiple print Jobs (print job data) are transferred to the image forming apparatus in one session with the use of a predetermined printing protocol after spooling of the multiple print jobs is completed.
Claims14
A method for controlling transfer of print jobs by an information processor in a print system which includes information processors and an image forming apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving print jobs based on application data;
- grouping the print jobs received at the receiving step and managing the print jobs as grouped jobs;
- and
- controlling the print jobs to be transferred to the image forming apparatus in one session with the use of a predetermined printing protocol.
A method for controlling transfer of print jobs by an information processor in a print system which includes information processors and an image forming apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving print jobs based on application data;
- grouping the print jobs received at the receiving step and managing the print jobs as grouped jobs;
- excluding a specified print job among the print jobs received at the receiving step and have not been sent to an image forming apparatus, from jobs to be sent to the imaging forming apparatus;
- and
- controlling the print jobs to be transferred to the imaging forming apparatus in one session with the use of a predetermined printing protocol.
An information processor in a print system which includes information processors and an image forming apparatus, the information processor comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive print jobs based on application data;
- a grouping unit configured to group the print jobs received by said receiving unit and manage the print jobs as grouped jobs;
- and
- a controlling unit configured to control the print jobs to be transferred to the image forming apparatus in one session with the use of a predetermined printing protocol.
