Abstract
Provided is a print management apparatus including a failure detector that detects a failure of a printing control apparatus and a printing apparatus in a printing system, and a printing continuation control unit that performs a control for requesting, when the failure detector detects the failure of any one of the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, an another printing system to lend an apparatus corresponding to the apparatus of which the failure is detected among the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, and for continuing, when the apparatus that is a request target is lent in response to the request, printing by the lent apparatus instead of the apparatus of which the failure is detected.
Claims19
A print management apparatus comprising:
- a failure detector that detects a failure of a printing control apparatus and a printing apparatus in a printing system;
- and
- a printing continuation control unit that performs a control for requesting, when the failure detector detects the failure of any one of the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, an another printing system to lend an apparatus corresponding to the apparatus of which the failure is detected among the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, and for continuing, when the apparatus that is a request target is lent in response to the request, printing by the lent apparatus instead of the apparatus of which the failure is detected.
A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program that causes a computer to function as:
- a failure detector that detects a failure of a printing control apparatus and a printing apparatus in a printing system;
- and
- a printing continuation control unit that performs a control for requesting, when the failure detector detects the failure of any one of the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, an another printing system to lend an apparatus corresponding to the apparatus of which the failure is detected among the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, and for continuing, when the apparatus that is a request target is lent in response to the request, printing by the lent apparatus instead of the apparatus of which the failure is detected.
A printing system comprising:
- a printing apparatus that prints print image data;
- a printing control apparatus that supplies the print image data to the printing apparatus and performs a control for executing printing;
- and
- a print management apparatus,
- wherein the print management apparatus includes a failure detector that detects a failure of a printing control apparatus and a printing apparatus;
- and
- a printing continuation control unit that performs a control for requesting, when the failure detector detects the failure of any one of the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, an another printing system to lend an apparatus corresponding to the apparatus of which the failure is detected among the printing control apparatus and the printing apparatus, and for continuing, when the apparatus that is a request target is lent in response to the request, printing by the lent apparatus instead of the apparatus of which the failure is detected.
