Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A printing managing apparatus includes: a job attribute correlating information acquiring unit that acquires job attribute correlating information that correlates pieces of individual job attribute information used in plural respective printing control apparatus with common job attribute information for each job attribute that can be set in print job information so as to be common to the plural printing control apparatus as transmission destination candidates of the print job information; an attribute specification information converting unit as defined herein; and a manipulation control processing unit as defined herein.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A printing managing apparatus comprising: a job attribute correlating information acquiring unit that acquires job attribute correlating information that correlates pieces of individual job attribute information used in plural printing control apparatus with common job attribute information for each job attribute that can be set in print job information; an attribute specification information converting unit that converts the pieces of individual job attribute information of attribute specification information that contains pieces of individual job attribute information indicating job attributes that can be designated for the job attributes into pieces of common job attribute information using the job attribute correlating information; and a manipulation control processing unit that links print job information with the attribute specification information using pieces of common job attribute information, and displays the print job information that is set to be common to the plural printing control apparatus to allow a manipulation on the displayed print job information. 2. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as: a job attribute correlating information acquiring unit that acquires job attribute correlating information that correlates pieces of individual job attribute information used in plural printing control apparatus with common job attribute information for each job attribute that can be set in print job information; an attribute specification information converting unit that converts the pieces of individual job attribute information of attribute specification information that contains pieces of individual job attribute information indicating job attributes that can be designated for the job attributes into pieces of common job attribute information using the job attribute correlating information; and a manipulation control processing unit that links print job information with the attribute specification information using pieces of common job attribute information, and displays the print job information that is set to be common to the plural printing control apparatus to allow a manipulation on the displayed print job information.
