A device control method and system that sets a control setting through a user interface generated by using an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document is provided. Operation control of a device is set through a user interface that is generated using an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) document. A user interface is generated for control settings of a device based on received first information, second information corresponding to control setting values is input through the user interface, and the second information is transmitted to the device and corresponding control settings of the device are set. Accordingly, operation control of the device can be controlled through a user interface by using a single standardized document regardless of the type of device.

A management apparatus to manage a device driver using a device driver package or a device driver configuration package and a method of managing the device driver of the management apparatus are provided. The management apparatus and the method are to deploy at least one of a device driver package to install a device driver using the device driver or a common device driver corresponding to at least one image forming apparatus and a device driver configuration package to modify a configuration of an installed device driver.

A print control method of a host apparatus which is connected to at least one image forming apparatus in a network, the method including receiving changed IP information from the at least one image forming apparatus; determining whether the host apparatus performs a print job with respect to the image forming apparatus which has the changed IP information; holding the print job if there is the print job; changing a print option for the print job; and transmitting print data corresponding to the print job according to the changed print option. With this, the apparatus and the method may normally perform a print job by changing a port of an image forming apparatus and prevent data loss due to a failure to change the port normally even if there is a print job for an image forming apparatus whose IP address is changed.

Performing a print job by having a host change a port of an image forming apparatus if the IP address of the image forming apparatus has changed

A method and apparatus for installing a printer driver of an image forming apparatus in a printing environment using a universal printer driver, the method including: displaying one or more functions that are supported by one or more image forming apparatuses connected to the printing environment; selecting at least one function from among the displayed functions; and installing a printer driver of a connected image forming apparatus that supports the selected at least one function. Thus, even if a model name of the printer driver of the image forming apparatus to be used is not recognized, a printer driver of the image forming apparatus that supports the functions to be used can be installed.

A high speed printing method and apparatus are provided, in which provided print data is rendered and a rendered result in response to a print request of the print data is transmitted, and an image of the rendered result is formed, wherein the rendering of the provided print data is performed by a host, and the forming of the image of the rendered result is performed by an image forming device connected to the host. Accordingly, a host performs pre-rendering before a print request is input, and when the print request is input, an image forming device receives the rendered result from the host and prints the rendered result. Thus, the image forming device can perform a printing job at a high speed regardless of the amount of print data.
