Cloud printing system and method using image forming apparatus

A cloud printing system using an image forming apparatus among plural image forming apparatuses, the system comprising:

• a plurality of image forming apparatuses that support near field communication (NFC) and are for printing content received from a cloud server;
• a location storage server in which location information of the plurality of image forming apparatuses is stored;
• a mobile terminal that supports the NFC and is for receiving location the information of the plurality of image forming apparatuses from the location storage server and displaying the location information on a screen;
• and
• the cloud server that renders and stores the content from the mobile terminal,
• wherein, when the mobile terminal is NFC tagged to one of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, the cloud server transmits the content to the NFC tagged image forming apparatus,
• wherein the cloud server comprises an email server, a rendering server, and a pull print server.

A cloud printing method using Near Field Communication (NFC), the method comprising:

• receiving location information of image forming apparatuses;
• displaying locations of the image forming apparatuses on a screen of the mobile terminal, based on the received location information;
• connecting a location storage server;
• selecting content for printing in a mobile terminal;
• transmitting the content to a cloud server from the mobile terminal;
• NFC tagging the mobile terminal to one of the image forming apparatuses;
• and
• sending a command to the cloud server for transmitting the content to the one of the NFC tagged image forming apparatus,
• wherein the cloud server comprises an email server, a rendering server, and a pull print server.
