Abstract
A print server configured to acquire temporary identification information used for uniquely identifying device identification and user identification from temporary identification information stored in a storage area according to a print instruction including device identification information used for identifying a device and user identification information used for identifying a user, and searches for and acquires a print job including the temporary identification information out of spooled print jobs, and provides the acquired print job including the temporary identification information to the device.
Claims6
A print server communicatable with a device, the print server comprising:
- a generation unit configured to generate, according to an issuance instruction of temporary identification information given by a user logged into the device, the temporary identification information at a time of login, and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit to the device, if the user issues a print request of a print job to which the temporary identification information is set, without logging out from the device, the print job to which the temporary identification information generated at the time of login is set from spooled print jobs,
- wherein if the user logs in again after logging out from the device and instructs issuance of temporary identification information, the generation unit generates new temporary identification information different from the temporary identification information which has been previously generated.
A print control method executed by a print server communicatable with a device, the method comprising:
- generating temporary identification information at a time of login according to an issuance instruction of the temporary identification information given by a user logged into the device, and
- transmitting to the device, if the user issues a print request of a print job to which the temporary identification information is set, without logging out from the device, the print job to which the temporary identification information generated at the time of login is set from spooled print jobs,
- wherein if the user logs in again after logging out from the device and instructs issuance of temporary identification information, generates new temporary identification information different from the temporary identification information which has been previously generated.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform operations including:
- generating a temporary identification information at a time of login according to an issuance instruction of the temporary identification information given by a user logged into the device, and
- transmitting to the device, if the user issues a print request of a print job to which the temporary identification information is set without logging out from the device, the print job to which the temporary identification information generated at the time of login is set from spooled print jobs,
- wherein if the user logs in again after logging out from the device and instructs issuance of temporary identification information, new temporary identification information different from the temporary identification information, which has been previously generated, is generated.
