Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system is operable to save a print job received from an information processing apparatus and transmit the print job to one printing device among a plurality of printing devices that are registered in advance, in response to a request from the one printing device. The system includes a server, that generates capability information for the plurality of printing devices based on capability information indicating a capability of each printing device of the plurality of printing devices, and updates the generated capability information in a case that the capability information indicating the capability of one of the plurality of printing devices changes. The information processing apparatus generates and displays a print setting screen based on the updated capability information obtained from the server.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system operable to save a print job received from an information processing apparatus and transmit the print job to one printing device among a plurality of printing devices that are registered in advance, in response to a request from the one printing device, wherein the system comprises a server, wherein the server includes a controller including a processor and a memory device, and the controller is configured to: generate capability information for the plurality of printing devices based on capability information indicating a capability of each printing device of the plurality of printing devices; and in a case that the capability information indicating the capability of one of the plurality of printing devices changes, update the generated capability information, wherein a print setting screen is generated based on the updated capability information. 2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the generated capability information to the information processing apparatus. 3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein, in the transmitting, the controller is configured to transmit the updated capability information to the information processing apparatus. 4. The system according to claim 2 , wherein, in the transmitting, the controller is configured to transmit, to the information processing apparatus, information indicating that saving of the capability information is prohibited. 5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to: generate the print setting screen based on the updated capability information; and. transmit the generated print setting screen to the information processing apparatus. 6. A method of controlling a system operable to save a print job received from an information processing apparatus and transmit the print job to one printing device among a plurality of printing devices that are registered in advance, in response to a request from the one printing device, the method comprising: generating capability information for the plurality of printing devices based on capability information indicating a capability of each printing device of the plurality of printing devices; and in a case that the capability information indicating the capability of one of the plurality of printing devices changes, updating the generated capability information, wherein a print setting screen to be displayed on the information processing apparatus is generated based on the updated capability information. 7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: transmitting the generated capability information to the information processing apparatus. 8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein, in the transmitting, the updated capability information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus. 9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein, in the transmitting, information indicating prohibition from saving the capability information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus. 10. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: generating a print setting screen based on the updated capability information; and transmitting the generated print setting screen to the information processing apparatus.
