Printer, information processing system, information processing method, and computer-readable recording medium having recorded program

An information processing system having an information processing device, and a printer connected with the information processing device via a network so as to communicate with the information processing device, the system comprising:

• the information processing device including:
• an information generation unit configured to generate first information including a transmission destination address for each printing request to the printer, and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the first information to the printer for each printing request to the printer,
• the printer including:
• a receiving unit configured to receive the first information from the information processing device in accordance with a printing request from the information processing device,
• an information obtaining unit configured to obtain information relating to at least one of a state of the printer and the printing request from the information processing device, and
• an electronic mail transmission unit configured to transmit second information via an electronic mail to the transmission destination address included in the first information received in accordance with the printing request from the information processing device, where the second information relates to the at least one of the printing request and the state of the printer.

An information processing method performed between an information processing device and a printer connected with the information processing device via a network so as to communicate with the information processing device, the information processing method comprising:

• generating first information including a transmission destination address in accordance with a printing request to the printer, by the information processing device, and transmitting the first information to the printer;
• receiving, by the printer, the first information from the information processing device;
• obtaining, by the printer, information relating to at least one of a state of the printer and the printing request;
• and
• transmitting, by the printer, second information via an electronic mail to the transmission destination address included in the first information, where the second information relates to the at least one of the printing request and the state of the printer.

A computer-readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, the program being executed by a printer connected with an information processing device via a network so as to communicate with the information processing device, the program causing the printer to execute:

• receiving first information including a transmission destination address from the information processing device in accordance with a printing request from the information processing device;
• obtaining information relating to at least one of a state of the printer and the printing request from the information processing device;
• and
• transmitting second information via an electronic mail to the transmission destination address included in the first information received in accordance with the printing request from the information processing device, the second information relating to the at least one of the printing request and the state of the printer.
