Abstract
An information processing apparatus (printing server) of one aspect of the present invention generates print data from the print target file attached to the electronic mail received from a mobile terminal via a network, and causes the printer designated in the electronic mail to execute printing based on the print data. Upon receiving such electronic mail, the print server saves the electronic mail address of the transmission source of the electronic mail. In addition, when the installation state of a print driver changes, the print server notifies a mobile terminal corresponding to the saved electronic mail address of information indicating the change by using the saved electronic mail address.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus in which print drivers respectively corresponding to not less than one printing apparatus configured to communicate via a network are installed, the apparatus comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive, from a mobile terminal, electronic mail to which a print target file is attached and in which a printing apparatus to print the file is designated;
- a print control unit configured to generate print data from the print target file attached to the electronic mail received by the reception unit by using a print driver corresponding to a printing apparatus designated in the electronic mail, and cause the designated printing apparatus to execute printing based on the generated print data;
- a saving unit configured to save an electronic mail address of a transmission source of electronic mail received by the reception unit;
- and
- a notification unit configured to, when an installation state of a print driver in the information processing apparatus changes, notify a mobile terminal corresponding to an electronic mail address saved by the saving unit of information indicating the change by using the electronic mail address.
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus in which print drivers respectively corresponding to not less than one printing apparatus configured to communicate via a network are installed, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a mobile terminal, electronic mail to which a print target file is attached and in which a printing apparatus to print the file is designated;
- generating print data from the print target file attached to the electronic mail by using a print driver corresponding to a printing apparatus designated in the electronic mail received in the receiving, and causing the designated printing apparatus to execute printing based on the generated print data;
- saving an electronic mail address of a transmission source of electronic mail received in the receiving;
- and
- when an installation state of a print driver in the information processing apparatus changes, notifying a mobile terminal corresponding to the saved electronic mail address of information indicating the change by using the saved electronic mail address.
