Abstract
A charging application to be executed by a terminal processor of a terminal device causes the terminal processor to store a print queue associated with a server to which charging information is transmitted, to monitor a spooler receiving a print job, when the spooler receives the print job specifying the print queue, to obtain charging information based on the print job, and to transmit the obtained charging information to the server associated with the print queue.
Claims18
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a print control program to be executed by a computer of a print controller, the print controller connected to a server and a printer and including a spooler operating to receive a print job and transmit the print job to the printer, the print control program causing the computer to perform processing, the processing comprising:
- storing a print queue associated with the server;
- monitoring the spooler;
- when the spooler receives the print job, in a case in which the received print job specifies the print queue, obtaining print information based on the print job;
- and
- transmitting the obtained print information to the server associated with the print queue.
A method of controlling a print controller connected to a server and a printer, the method comprising:
- storing a print queue associated with the server;
- receiving a print job by using a spooler;
- determining whether or not the print job received by the spooler specifies the print queue;
- when determining that the print job specifies the print queue, transmitting print information based on the print job to the server associated with the print queue.
A print controller connected to a server and a printer, comprising:
- a storage section configured to store a print queue associated with the server;
- a spooler configured to receive a print job;
- a monitoring section configured to monitor the spooler;
- and
- a print information transmission section configured to transmit print information based on the print job to the print queue and the server when the monitoring section determines that the print job received by the spooler specifies a print queue.
