Abstract
Provided is a technology including a printer device configuration information generation unit configured to transmit, to the terminal apparatus as an attribute value of an IPP attribute, when the IPP attribute is inquired by a terminal apparatus, information (for example, a URL) for accessing a storage area for storing IPP-undefined printer device configuration information (option XML file) regarding the printer device, to thereby allow the terminal apparatus to acquire the option XML file.
Claims12
A printer device configured to perform printing by receiving, from an information processing apparatus, a print job transmitted through use of a predetermined protocol, the printer device comprising:
- a transmission unit configured to transmit, to the information processing apparatus, when capability information regarding the printer device is inquired by the information processing apparatus, information for accessing a storage area for storing capability information regarding the printer device, to allow the information processing apparatus to thereby acquire the capability information.
A control method for a printer device, the printer device being configured to perform printing by receiving, from an information processing apparatus, a print job transmitted through use of a predetermined protocol, the control method comprising:
- transmitting, to the information processing apparatus, when capability information regarding the printer device is inquired by the information processing apparatus, information for accessing a storage rea for storing capability information regarding the printer device, the information allowing the information processing apparatus to thereby acquire the capability information.
An information processing apparatus configured to transmit a print job to a printer device through use of a predetermined protocol, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a first acquisition unit configured to acquire storage information for accessing a storage area for storing capability information regarding the printer device, from the printer device as an attribute value of the printer device defined by the predetermined protocol. the information for accessing the storage area allowing the information processing apparatus to thereby acquire the capability information, and the capability information including information corresponding to a capability that is not defined by the predetermined protocol;
- a second acquisition unit configured to acquire the capability information based on the storage information acquired by the first acquisition unit;
- and
- a generating unit configured to generate a print job including a print setting corresponding to the capability that is not defined by the predetermined protocol, through use of the capability information acquired by the second acquisition unit.
