Abstract

In a case where a job associated with a user has not been successfully stored in a job processing apparatus, it is not possible to exclusively notify the user that the job has not been successfully stored. A control method in a job processing apparatus includes storing a job such that the job is associated with a user, storing, identification information for identifying the user associated with a job that has not been successfully stored, and notifying the user that the job has not been stored according to login to the job processing apparatus, by the user, in a case where identification information for identifying the user having logged in to the job processing apparatus has been stored.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A printing apparatus comprising:
an interface configured to communicate via a network;
a display;
one or more memories;
a printer; and
one or more processors that execute a set of instructions to:
receive print data associated with user identification information for identifying a user from an external apparatus via the interface;
store the print data received via the interface in the one or more memories in association with the user identification information;
cause the display to display a list of pieces of print data stored in association with user identification information about a user having logged in to the printing apparatus among pieces of the print data stored in the one or more memories;
cause the printer to print a piece of print data selected from the list according to an instruction from the user having logged in to the printing apparatus; and
register, on condition that the received print data is not stored in the one or more memories, the user identification information associated with the received print data as error information,
wherein in a case where the user identification information about the user having logged in to the printing apparatus is registered as the error information, a message that there is a piece of print data that is not stored in the one or more memories is displayed, together with the list of the pieces of print data corresponding to the user having logged in to the printing apparatus, in an area different from an area where the list is to be displayed.

2. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to delete the user identification information registered as the error information after displaying the message that there is a piece of print data that is not stored.

3. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further execute the set of instructions to:
authenticate a user who requests logging in to the printing apparatus; and
allow a user who has successfully authenticated to log in to the printing apparatus.

4. A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:
receiving print data associated with user identification information for identifying a user from an external apparatus via a network;
storing the received print data in association with the user identification information;
displaying a list of pieces of print data stored in association with user identification information about a user having logged in to the printing apparatus among pieces of the stored print data;
printing a piece of print data selected from the list according to an instruction from the user having logged in to the printing apparatus; and
registering, on condition that the received print data is not stored, the user identification information associated with the received print data as error information,
wherein in a case where the user identification information about the user having logged in to the printing apparatus is registered as the error information, a message that there is a piece of print data that is not stored in the one or more memories is displayed, together with the list of the pieces of print data corresponding to the user having logged in to the printing apparatus, in an area different from an area where the list is to be displayed.

5. The control method according to claim 4 , further comprising deleting the user identification information registered as the error information after displaying the message that there is a piece of print data that is not stored.

6. The control method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
authenticating a user who requests logging in to the printing apparatus; and
allowing a user who has successfully authenticated to log in to the printing apparatus.

7. The control method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
determining whether the received print data is storable; and
register user identification information associated with the received print data as error information on condition that it is determined that the print data is not storable.

8. The control method according to claim 7 , wherein whether the received print data is storable is determined based on a free space of a memory configured to store print data.

9. The control method according to claim 7 , wherein whether the received print data is storable is determined based on whether the print data has reached an upper limit of a number of pieces of print data per user that is storable in a memory configured to store print data.

10. The control method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
storing bibliographic information including the identification information about the user associated with the print data received via the network and identification information about the print data; and
referring to bibliographic information corresponding to a user having logged in to the printing apparatus and displaying a list of pieces of print data included in the bibliographic information referred to.

11. The control method according to claim 10 ,
wherein the bibliographic information includes a storage location of the print data;
wherein the print data is obtained based on a storage location of a piece of print data selected from a list of identification information about the print data; and
wherein the obtained print data is printed.

12. A non-transitory storage medium containing instructions, for controlling a printing apparatus, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving print data associated with user identification information for identifying a user from an external apparatus via a network;
storing the received print data in association with the user identification information;
displaying a list of pieces of print data stored in association with user identification information about a user having logged in to the printing apparatus among pieces of the stored print data;
printing a piece of print data selected from the list according to an instruction from the user having logged in to the printing apparatus; and
registering, on condition that the received print data is not stored, the user identification information associated with the received print data as error information,
wherein in a case where the user identification information about the user having logged in to the printing apparatus is registered as the error information, a message that there is a piece of print data that is not stored in the one or more memories is displayed, together with the list of the pieces of print data corresponding to the user having logged in to the printing apparatus, in an area different from an area where the list is to be displayed.
