Printing apparatus and non-transitory medium storing program for printing apparatus

A printing apparatus configured to substitute for another printing apparatus so as to perform printing in a case where printing by the another printing apparatus is not completed, the printing apparatus comprising:

• a second memory storing a template database including one or more records, each of the one or more records including a template ID and template data, the template data being used to print a predetermined print content based on a predetermined layout, the template ID being associated with the template data;
• a communication interface;
• a printing mechanism;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to cause the printing apparatus to perform:
• a second accepting process of accepting a query as to whether the printing apparatus possesses the template data associated with the template ID from the another printing apparatus via the communication interface;
• a responding process of responding that the printing apparatus possesses the template data to the another printing apparatus via the communication interface, in a case where the template data associated with the template ID is stored in the second memory;
• a second receiving process of receiving a print instruction including the template ID and an identification information used to identify the print content;
• and
• a second printing process of causing the printing mechanism to perform printing of a print image in which the print content based on the print instruction is applied to the layout indicated by the template data, in a case where the processor receives the print instruction in the second receiving process.

A non-transitory medium storing a program for a printing apparatus,

• the printing apparatus including:
• a first memory storing a template database including one or more records, each of the one or more records including a template ID and template data, the template data being used to print a predetermined print content based on a predetermined layout, the template ID being associated with the template data;
• a printing mechanism;
• a communication interface;
• and
• a processor configured to cause the printing apparatus to perform:
• an obtaining process of obtaining a print instruction including related information related to print content data which indicates the print content and the template ID;
• a first printing process of causing the printing mechanism to perform printing of a print image in which the print content related to the related information is applied to the layout indicated by the template data associated with the template ID, in a case where the processor obtains the print instruction in the obtaining process;
• a first querying process of querying another printing apparatus whether the another printing apparatus possesses the template data associated with the template ID via the communication interface, in a case where the printing by the first printing process is not completed and where the another printing apparatus is connected to the printing apparatus;
• and
• a first transmitting process of transmitting the print instruction to the another printing apparatus via the communication interface, in a case where a result of the first querying process is that the another printing apparatus possesses the template data associated with the template ID.
