An information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a cloud print service includes at least one memory that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the instructions, the instructions, when executed, causing the information processing apparatus to perform operations including determining whether transmission of a print job to a printer associated with a cloud printer not via the cloud print service is allowed in a case where the cloud printer on the cloud print service is selected as an output destination, and transmitting the print job to the printer associated with the cloud printer through a path not via the cloud print service in a case where it is determined that transmission of the print job to the printer associated with the cloud printer not via the cloud print service is allowed.

Information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium

In response to receiving an e-mail of a print job from a client terminal, a print server generates a job code and a print setting URL for the print job and returns the generated job code and print setting URL to the client terminal. Further, when the print setting URL is accessed, a print setting screen is provided to the client terminal. Accordingly, it is possible to easily perform print setting on the print job transmitted via an e-mail and then perform printing.

Server generates URL and one time key

This information processing apparatus transmits screen data for displaying a screen of a first application to a web browser operating on an external apparatus. When receiving a screen transition instruction for transiting from the screen of the first application to a screen of a second application, the apparatus stores transition destination information indicating at least a return destination screen in a storage unit, and transmits screen data for displaying the screen of the second application to the web browser. When receiving a return instruction for returning from the screen of the second application to an original screen, the apparatus determines a return destination screen based on the transition destination information stored in the storage unit.

Information processing apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium

An information transmission apparatus generates a web page showing information of the information transmission apparatus and containing image data indicating a common screen with a screen to be displayed on a display unit provided in the information transmission apparatus, and transmits the generated web page to an information processing apparatus in response to a request from the information processing apparatus. Further, in a case where the screen to be displayed on the display unit is one of a plurality of relevant screens, the information transmission apparatus acquires image data of each of the relevant screens, and generates the web page containing the image data of each of the acquired screens.

Information transmission apparatus, control method thereof, and recording medium storing computer program

Display control is made so as to obtain an optimum setting picture plane in accordance with a change in designation of an outputting method of a distribution printing, a multiple-address printing, an automatic substitute printing, or the like without allowing the user to be conscious thereof.

Print control with interfaces provided in correspondence with printing methods to show status of member printers

An information processing apparatus acquires, from a Web server, an operation screen for inputting authentication information, displays the acquired operation screen, and accepts authentication information input by a user. The apparatus then executes authentication processing using the accepted authentication information without transmitting the authentication information to the Web server, and authorizes, when the authentication succeeds, the user to use a function of itself.

Information processing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing program thereof

An information processing apparatus which can be operated very easily by users when the users display web pages in different display languages. An MFP is connected to a web server via a network. When registering a view button in which a URL for identify contents is specified, a window manager registers a display language in which the contents are displayed in association with the URL, and displays the view button on a display. When a view button is selected, a web browser transmits URL associated with the selected view button to thereby designate contents associated with URL and send the display language to thereby specify the display language in which the contents are displayed.

Information processing apparatus that displays web page, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A printer driver in a host computer (PC/WS) instructs an image input/output apparatus to perform clear toner printing in which color-toner data printed by using a plurality of color toners and clear-toner data printed by using a clear toner are printed in a superimposed relation. Upon accepting an instruction for a test print of the clear toner printing, the printer driver defines a first color and a second color, which differ from each other and which are discernible relative to colors designated in the color-toner data, and issues a printing instruction to the image input/output apparatus such that a portion designated in the clear-toner data where the clear toner is coated by the clear toner printing is printed in the first color, and a portion designated in the clear-toner data where the clear toner is not coated by the clear toner printing is printed in the second color.

Printing control apparatus, printing apparatus, and methods for use in those apparatuses

In this invention, a combined job obtained by combining a plurality of jobs is authenticated as a single job. According to the arrangement of this invention, when print jobs are to be spooled, these jobs are transferred from a dispatcher to a spooler where the jobs are combined. Upon reception of a print instruction, the print job is read out from a spool file, transferred from a despooler to a graphic engine again, and transferred from the dispatcher to a printer driver. At this time, the printer driver issues an authentication request in printing to a job accounting client. Thus, only one authentication request suffices for one combined job.

Print control apparatus and method, and print system

Print control with interfaces provided in correspondence with printing methods

When an Offset or rotation sort output is designated as an output style, whether document data of one copy is printed to one paper (physical sheet) and outputted or not is discriminated. When it is printed to one paper, it is intended to enable the print such that the Offset or rotation output is not performed. An information processing apparatus has: a finishing command setting unit which can set a finishing command to a printer so as to rotation-sort-output or Offset-output the document data; and a counter for counting the number of physical sheets to which the document data of one copy whose output is desired is allocated. The finishing command setting unit sets the finishing command in a manner such that when the document data of one copy is printed onto one physical sheet as a result of the counting by the counter, the rotation sort output or the Offset output is not performed, and when the document data of one copy is printed onto two or more physical sheets, the rotation sort output or the Offset output is performed.
