Peripheral device, peripheral device control method, peripheral device control system, storage medium for storing peripheral device control programs, sending device for sending peripheral device control programs, and peripheral device control program product

An information processing apparatus for outputting a job to a peripheral device, comprising:

• obtaining means for obtaining information about a device control program having a function for controlling jobs with a device engine;
• display control means for displaying identification information for identifying the device control program which instructs interruption job execution to the peripheral device;
• selecting means for selecting identification information displayed by said display control means;
• and
• output means for outputting a job instruction to a device control program corresponding to the identification information selected by said selecting means,
• wherein said display means displays the identification information for identifying said device control program which is executed in the peripheral device, in the event that an interruption job is output, so as to be distinguished from other device control programs.

An information processing method for outputting a job to a peripheral device comprising:

• an obtaining step of obtaining information about a control program having a function for controlling jobs with a device engine;
• a display control step of displaying identification information for identifying the control program which intructs interruption job execution to the peripheral device;
• a selecting step of selecting identification information displayed in said display control step;
• and
• an output step of outputting a job instruction to a control program corresponding to the identification information selected in said selecting step,
• wherein the displayed identification information is based on the obtained information from said obtaining step and includes information relevant to the control program which is executed in said peripheral device.

An information processing method for outputting a job to a peripheral device comprising:

• an obtaining step of obtaining information about a device control program having a function for controlling jobs with a device engine;
• a display control step of displaying identification information for identifying the device control program which instructs interruption job execution to the peripheral device in the event that an interruption job is output, based on the obtained information;
• a selecting step of selecting identification information displayed in said display control step;
• and
• an output step of outputting a job instruction to a device control program corresponding to the identification information selected in said selecting step,
• wherein said display step includes displaying the identification information for identifying the device control program which is executed in the peripheral device, in the event that an interruption job is output, so as to be distinguished from other device control programs.
