Printing control method, apparatus and storage medium therefor, and printing system

A printing control method for performing printing by a printing device based upon a print job to which identification information is attached, comprising:

• a judgment step of judging whether or not a secured print is designated;
• a display step of displaying an input screen on which a document name corresponding to a print job is inputted, in response to a designation of the print job from an application, in a case where it is judged in said judgment step that the secured print is designated;
• a setting step of setting the document name inputted using the input screen to the print job to change the document name of the print job before print data of the print job is generated such that a third person can not recognize an attribute of the print job;
• a generation step of generating the print data of the print job using the document name set in said setting step, the print data interpretable by the printing device;
• and
• a transmitting step of transmitting the print data generated in said generation step to the printing device so as to execute the print job by the printing device,
• wherein the input screen is displayed and said setting step is performed to set a document name at every time in which the secured print is designated.

A printing system having a host computer for creating a print job to which identification information is attached, and a printing device for receiving and executing the print job from the host computer, wherein said host computer has:

• judgment means for judging whether or not a secured print is designated;
• display means for displaying an input screen on which a document name corresponding to a print job is inputted, in response to a designation of the print job from an application, in a case where said judgment means judges that the secured print is designated;
• setting means for setting the document name inputted using the input screen to the print job to change the document name of the print job before print data of the print job is generated such that a third person can not recognize an attribute of the print job;
• generation means for generating the print data of the print job using the document name set by said setting means, the print data interpretable by the printing device;
• and
• transmitting means for transmitting the print data generated by said generation means to the printing device so as to execute the print job by the printing device,
• wherein the input screen is displayed and said setting means sets a document name at every time in which the secured print is designated;
• and said printing device including:
• input means for inputting identification information;
• and
• determination means for determining whether the identification information that has been input by said input means matches the identification information attached to a received print job,
• wherein if a match is determined by said determination means, the print job corresponding to the identification information is executed by the printing device.

A printing control method in a printing system having a host computer for creating a print job to which identification information is attached, and a printing device for receiving and executing the print job from the host computer, said method comprising:

• a judgment step of judging whether or not a secured print is designated;
• a display step of displaying an input screen on which a document name corresponding to a print job is inputted, in response to a designation of the print job from an application, in a case where it is judged in said judgment step that the secured print is designated;
• a setting step of setting the document name inputted using the input screen to the print job to change the document name of the print job before print data of the print job is generated such that a third person can not recognize an attribute of the print job;
• a generation step of generating the print data of the print job using the document name set in said setting step, the print data interpretable by the printing device;
• a step of transmitting the print data generated in said generation step to the printing device;
• a determination step of inputting identification information and determining whether the input identification information matches the identification information attached to a received print data;
• and
• a step of executing the print job corresponding to the identification information if a match is determined in said determination step.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for implementing a printing control method for performing printing by a printing device based upon a print job to which identification information is attached, comprising:

• a module of a judgment step of judging whether or not a secured print is designated;
• a module of display step of displaying an input screen on which a document name corresponding to a print job is inputted, in response to a designation of the print job from an application, in a case where it is judged in said judgment step that the secured print is designated;
• a module of a setting step of setting the document name inputted using the input screen to the print job to change the document name of the print job before print data of the print job is generated such that a third person can not recognize an attribute of the print job;
• a module of a generation step of generating the print data of the print job using the document name set in said setting step, the print data interpretable by the printing device;
• and
• a module of a transmitting step of transmitting the print data to which the document name is set to the printing device so as to execute the print job by the printing device,
• wherein the input screen is displayed and said setting step is performed to set a document name at every time in which the secured print is designated.
