Abstract
Ability information about an authentication printing function to be transmitted from a printing apparatus to a print client is varied depending on whether a communication path between the apparatuses is encrypted.
Claims8
A printing apparatus, comprising:
- a reception control unit configured to receive a request for acquisition of attribute information of the printing apparatus from a communication apparatus;
- and
- a transmission control unit configured to perform control so as to transmit, to the communication apparatus, attribute information that includes at least information indicating that authentication printing using a password is supported, in response to a reception of a request for acquisition of the attribute information of the printing apparatus from the communication apparatus via an encrypted communication path, as a response to the request, and configured to perform control so as to transmit, to the communication apparatus, attribute information that includes at least information indicating that the authentication printing is not supported, in response to a reception of at least a request for acquisition of the attribute information of the printing apparatus from the communication apparatus via an unencrypted communication path, as a response to the request.
A control method for a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- performing reception control so as to receive a request for acquisition of attribute information of the printing apparatus from a communication apparatus;
- and
- performing transmission control so as to transmit, to the communication apparatus, attribute information that includes at least information indicating that authentication printing using a password is supported, in response to a reception of a request for acquisition of the attribute information of the printing apparatus from the communication apparatus via an encrypted communication path, as a response to the request, and performing transmission control so as to transmit attribute information that includes at least information indicating that the authentication printing is not supported, in response to a reception of at least a request for acquisition of the attribute information of the printing apparatus from the communication apparatus via an unencrypted communication path, as a response to the request.
A storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute operations comprising:
- performing reception control so as to receive a request for acquisition of attribute information of the printing apparatus from a communication apparatus;
- and
- performing transmission control so as to transmit, to the communication apparatus, attribute information that includes at least information indicating that authentication printing using a password is supported, in response to a reception of a request for acquisition of the attribute information of the printing apparatus from the communication apparatus via an encrypted communication path, as a response to the request, and performing transmission control so as to transmit attribute information that includes at least information indicating that the authentication printing is not supported, in response to a reception of at least a request for acquisition of the attribute information of the printing apparatus from the communication apparatus via an unencrypted communication path, as a response to the request.
