20090303509 | PRINT CONTROL DEVICE, PRINT CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A print control method allowing a printing apparatus to perform printing based on a plurality of contents used for outputting a plurality of components to be finally integrated is provided. The CPU determines whether component basis post-processing is set in each of the plurality of contents. The printing sequence is determined such that a first content determined as a content in which the component basis post-processing is set is printed in advance of a second content determined as a content in which the component basis post-processing is not set. | 12-10-2009 |
20100208284 | INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus with a printer driver, which generates print data to be output to an image forming apparatus, corresponding to a plurality of image forming apparatuses registers a compound setting that information indicating output destinations corresponding to the plurality of image forming apparatuses and a plurality of print settings are combined, and sets information indicating an output destination included in the compound setting to the printer driver. | 08-19-2010 |
20100302567 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - An information processing apparatus includes a designation unit configured to designate number-of-copies information indicating a number of copies of print media to be stacked in a lump as a unit via a user interface of a printer driver, and a transmission unit configured to set an attribute of a print job based on the number-of-copies information designated by the designation unit and to transmit the set attribute to an image forming apparatus. | 12-02-2010 |
20110107396 | AUTHENTICATION METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - An information processing apparatus acquires user name information contained in user authentication information transmitted from an authentication server. Then, the information processing apparatus describes the acquired user name information according to a predetermined format which the printer driver can refer to, and stores it in a storage area which the printer driver can refer to. The printer driver, if the user name information is stored in the storage area, and the user name information satisfies a condition described in the format, transmits the user name information added to the print data to a printer apparatus. | 05-05-2011 |
20120086975 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - In an information processing apparatus according to this invention, a plurality of pieces of batch setting information each configured by a plurality of pieces of print setting information are registered in advance. A setting of print setting information, use of which is inhibited, of the plurality of pieces of print setting information is accepted. Batch setting information including the print setting information, use of which is inhibited, is specified from the plurality of pieces of batch setting information. Then, a setting screen which allows the user to select pieces of non-specified batch setting information, and does not allow the user to select the specified batch setting information is displayed. | 04-12-2012 |
20120268792 | PRINT PROCESSING APPARATUS, PRINT PROCESSING METHOD, AND PRINT CONTROL PROGRAM - The print processing apparatus can set to perform either the page layout process for each page of the book-bound sheet bundle or the page layout process for the spread pages for the book-bound sheet bundle during bookbinding printing. At the time of combining the page layout function with the bookbinding print function, the arrangement of a plurality of pages on the spread pages for the book-bound sheet bundle is controlled if the page layout process for the spread pages for the book-bound sheet bundle during bookbinding printing is set. When a page-order mismatch occurs in the arrangement order specified for page layout, the arrangement order of pages which are a front cover and a rear cover of the book-bound sheet bundle is changed so as to maintain the integrity of the page order. | 10-25-2012 |
20130021647 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus receives distribution of information of a server device which manages an image output device as an input destination of a print job, and automatically registers the server device as an output destination of a printing instruction. A computer device, which issues a printing instruction via a network to cause an image output device to execute a print job, makes an acquisition request of device management information to be updated, to a computer management device which manages the device management information including information regarding an output destination of the printing instruction issued by the computer device, and acquires the device management information to be updated. The computer device registers a cloud service server device as the output destination of the printing instruction based on information regarding the cloud service server device included in the device management information to be updated. | 01-24-2013 |
