Information processing apparatus for managing a non-print job in a print queue, recording medium, and control method

A method for performing control in which management information for managing a job is displayed in a print queue of an information processing apparatus, and end-of-processing information that changes the display of the management information of the job in the print queue from a non-completed state to a completed state is received from a printing apparatus after the job is transmitted through a communication path to the printing apparatus, the method comprising:

• determining whether a job corresponding to the management information in the print queue is a non-print job of which print data of the job to be printed by the printing apparatus is not transmitted to the printing apparatus;
• and
• transmitting dummy data which corresponds to the non-print job and which is not printed by the printing apparatus to the printing apparatus if the job is determined as the non-print job,
• wherein a language monitor executes the determination, and
• wherein end-of-processing information of the dummy data is received after the dummy data is transmitted to the printing apparatus, so that the management information of the non-print job in the print queue is changed from a non-completed state to a completed state.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a program for causing a computer to function as:

• an information processing apparatus in which management information for managing a job is displayed in a print queue of the information processing apparatus, and end-of-processing information that changes the display of the management information of the job in the print queue from a non-completed state to a completed state is received from a printing apparatus after the job is transmitted through a communication path to the printing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:
• a determination unit configured to determine whether a job corresponding to the management information in the print queue is a non-print job of which print data of the job to be printed by the printing apparatus is not transmitted to the printing apparatus;
• and
• a transmission unit configured, if the determination unit determines that the job is the non-print job, to transmit dummy data which corresponds to the non-print job and which is not printed by the printing apparatus to the printing apparatus,
• wherein a language monitor executes the determination unit, and
• wherein the transmission unit receives end-of-processing information of the dummy data after transmitting the dummy data to the printing apparatus, so that the management information of the non-print job in the print queue is changed from a non- completed state to a completed state.
