Print job information managing device, print job information managing method, and recording medium

A print job information managing device comprising:

• a spool managing section comprising a basic information receiving section that receives basic information from terminal devices and an information extracting section that extracts pre-set specific information from the received basic information and generates an extracted information table that is stored in a server;
• an authentication request instruction adding section that adds;
• to a print job, an authentication request instruction that expresses whether or not authentication is needed by a printing recipient at a time of printing;
• a judging section that, on the basis of information included in the print job and the extracted information table stored in the server, judges whether or not the authentication request instruction is to be added by determining whether or not the specific information extracted by the information extracting section matches security judgment conditions;
• when the judging section has judged that the authentication request instruction is to be added, the authentication request instruction adding section adds the authentication request instruction and the printing recipient information to the print job;
• when the judging section has judged that the authentication request instruction is not to be added, the authentication request instruction adding section does not add the authentication request instruction and the printing recipient information to the print job;
• a transmitting section that transmits the print job to a printer according to the instruction by a printing sender;
• and
• a notification section that, when the authentication request instruction has been added to the print job transmitted by the transmitting section, notifies the printing recipient that the print job has been transmitted, and when the authentication request instruction has not been added to the print job transmitted by the transmitting section, does not notify the printing recipient that the print job has been transmitted;
• wherein the authentication request instruction adding section adds the authentication request instruction to the print job before the print job is transmitted by the transmitting section, by setting the printing recipient and a password.

• a spool managing section comprising a basic information receiving section that receives basic information from terminal devices and an information extracting section that extracts pre-set specific information from the received basic information;
• a judging section that judges whether or not the specific information extracted by the information extracting section matches security judgment conditions based on the information extracted by the information extracting section;
• an authentication request instruction adding section that adds, to a print job, an authentication request instruction that expresses whether or not authentication is needed at a time of printing when it has been judged that information extracted by the information extracting section matches the security judgment condition by the judging section;
• a transmitting section that transmits the print job to a printer;
• and
• a notification section that, when the authentication request instruction has been added to the print job transmitted by the transmitting section, notifies a printing recipient that the print job has been transmitted;
• wherein the authentication request instruction adding section adds the authentication request instruction to the print job before the print job is transmitted by the transmitting section, by setting the printing recipient and a password;
• the judging section judging whether or not the authentication request instruction is to be added on the basis of the extracted information and the security judgment conditions;
• when the judging section has judged that the authentication request instruction is to be added, the authentication request instruction adding section adds the authentication request instruction to the print job;
• and
• the judging section judges whether or not the authentication request instruction is to be added, by judging, on the basis of an extracted information table generated by the information extracting section, whether or not the print job matches the security judgment conditions that are read-in from an authentication condition managing section.
