An information processing apparatus includes a first image receiver configured to receive, from an imaging apparatus, a first image capturing a first user using a first electronic device; a first user identifier configured to identify the first user who used the first electronic device based on usage information and the first image; an input information receiver configured to receive, from the first electronic device, authentication information input to the first electronic device by the first user; a second image receiver configured to receive, from the imaging apparatus, a second image capturing a second user existing at an operable position of a second electronic device; a second user identifier configured to identify the second user based on the second image; and an operation instructor configured to transmit, to the second electronic device, the authentication information, based on information relating to the identified first and second users and the authentication information.

Information processing apparatus and information processing system identifying first user of first electronic device and second user of second electronic device to transmit information

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry to: generate print data; generate identification information, the identification information including a device name identifying a device communicably connected to the information processing apparatus via a network and a user name identifying the logged-in user; determine whether a setting value is designated for a particular print setting; read a setting value associated with the particular print setting from a memory when a setting value is not designated for the particular print setting, the memory storing one or more print settings, a setting value for each print setting, and identification information in association; and transmit, to the device communicably connected to the information processing apparatus, the print data having a print command corresponding to the particular print setting.

Information processing apparatus, printing method, and recording medium

An information processing apparatus executes a printer driver, and includes processing circuitry and one or more memories. The processing circuitry is configured to display a first setting screen and a second setting screen. The first setting screen is used to perform setting of the printer driver via a desktop application. The second setting screen is used to perform setting of the printer driver via a store application. The memories include a first memory area and a second memory area. The first memory area is editable on the first setting screen, and stores a first address book editable by the processing circuitry. The second memory area editable on the second setting screen, and stores a second address book editable by the processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to merge the first address book and the second address book.

An information processing apparatus includes a processor, in communication with a memory, executing a process including displaying, on a display device, a screen displaying information relating to a print request, in response to the print request received from an application, the print request being given in response to an operation input to the application via a user interface; and displaying a report indicating switching to the screen displaying the information relating to the print request, in a status where a screen displayed by the application is displayed in front of and hiding the screen displaying the information relating to the print request, the report being displayed in front of the screen displayed by the application.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry that accepts a configured print setting for generating image data, generates identification information for identifying the image data, generates first image data based on a first print setting different from the configured print setting, stores, in a memory, the identification information of the image data and the first image data associated with each other, generates second image data including the identification information of the image data by applying the configured print setting to the first image data, accepts a second print setting configured for the second image data and the identification information of the image data included in the second image data, the second print setting being different from the first print setting, specifies the first image data based on the identification information of the image data included in the second image data, and generates third image data by applying the second print setting configured for the second image data to the specified first image data.
