Abstract
A printing apparatus provides a login function for allowing a user to log into the printing apparatus, configures a setting for enabling the login function, provides, based on the login function being set to be enabled, a printing server with a notification indicating that the printing apparatus is capable of making a cancellation request that requests the printing server to cancel a pending state of a print job held by the printing server, obtains the print job from the printing server after the pending state of the print job is cancelled, and executes printing in accordance with the obtained print job
Claims11
A printing system comprising a printing server and a printing apparatus,
- the printing server comprising:
- a holding unit configured to hold a print job in a pending state based on a determination that the printing apparatus is capable of making a cancellation request that requests the printing server to cancel the pending state of the print job;
- a cancellation unit configured to cancel the pending state of the print job based on a request from the printing apparatus or a request from an apparatus different from the printing apparatus;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit the print job whose pending state was cancelled to the printing apparatus, and
- the printing apparatus comprising:
- a login unit configured to provide a login function for allowing a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- a setting unit configured to configure a setting for enabling the login function;
- a notification unit configured to, based on the login function being set to be enabled, provide the printing server with a notification indicating that the printing apparatus is capable of making the cancellation request;
- an obtainment unit configured to obtain the print job from the printing server after the pending state of the print job is cancelled;
- and
- a printing unit configured to execute printing in accordance with the obtained print job.
A printing apparatus, comprising:
- a login unit configured to provide a login function for allowing a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- a setting unit configured to configure a setting for enabling the login function;
- a notification unit configured to, based on the login function being set to be enabled, provide a printing server with a notification indicating that the printing apparatus is capable of making a cancellation request that requests the printing server to cancel a pending state of a print job held by the printing server;
- an obtainment unit configured to obtain the print job from the printing server after the pending state of the print job is cancelled;
- and
- a printing unit configured to execute printing in accordance with the obtained print job.
A method for controlling a printing apparatus, the method comprising:
- providing a login function for allowing a user to log into the printing apparatus;
- configuring a setting for enabling the login function;
- providing, based on the login function being set to be enabled, a printing server with a notification indicating that the printing apparatus is capable of making a cancellation request that requests the printing server to cancel a pending state of a print job held by the printing server;
- obtaining the print job from the printing server after the pending state of the print job is cancelled;
- and
- executing printing in accordance with the obtained print job.
