A printing control terminal device including an input unit to receive a printing order to request a printing operation for a printing work, a communication interface unit to receive information regarding a resource saving mode from an image forming apparatus, a display unit to display information regarding the received resource saving mode, a printer driver unit to generate printing data for the printing work, and a controller to control the communication interface unit to transmit the generated printing data to the image forming apparatus.

Printing control terminal device connectable to an image forming apparatus having a resource saving mode and method for printing control thereof

A print control apparatus connectable to an image forming apparatus includes a printing data generating unit that generates printing data and spools the printing data to the image forming apparatus; a communication unit that receives status information of the image forming apparatus; and a control unit that controls the communication unit to receive status information about a work of the image forming apparatus even after spooling of the printing data generating unit is completed.

Print control apparatus, image forming apparatus, image forming system, and method of controlling for spooling printing data and handling status information about a work of the image forming apparatus throughout printing process

The present inventive concept relates to a print controlling terminal apparatus, print controlling method, image forming apparatus and method of controlling the same. The print controlling terminal apparatus according to the present inventive concept includes a user interface unit which inputs a set value determining whether or not to activate a state information analyzing operation of the image forming apparatus, storage unit which stores the input set value, print data generating unit which generates print data including the set value and spools the generated print data to the image forming apparatus, and a control unit which generates a notification message using the received state information according to the set value.

A print control apparatus includes a determining unit to search for one or more PrintTickets for each level within an XML paper specification (XPS) file in response to an XPS file print command, and to determine whether the one or more PrintTickets found as a result of searching conflict with each other within the XPS file, a user interface, and a controller to control the user interface to display one or more conflicting PrintTickets if it is determined that the one or more PrintTickets conflict with each other within the XPS file. Therefore, it is possible for a user to easily determine which PrintTickets conflict with each other within the XPS file and to readily control these conflicting PrintTickets.

Print control apparatus and printticket control method

A printing control apparatus is provided. The printing control apparatus includes a user interface to set a printing option for a document to be printed, an extraction unit to determine whether the set printing option is a printing option for pre-processing, a generation unit to generate a setting file corresponding to the pre-processing printing option if the printing option is the pre-processing printing option, a conversion unit to convert an XPS file into an enhanced XPS file that includes the generated setting file, and a controller to transmit the enhanced XPS file to the image forming apparatus.

A printing method which dynamically loads a filter, a recordable medium with a program to execute the printing method, and a host apparatus. The printing method uses filter setting information having at least one filter corresponding to a print option of a print document, the printing method can include selecting a print option, changing the filter setting information corresponding to the print option, and applying the printing option according to the changed filter setting information and transmitting print data.

Printing method to load filter dynamically and recordable medium with program to execute the printing method and host apparatus

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for driving a printer driver based on a determined type of application, and driving one of an extensible markup language (XML) paper specification (XPS) driver and a legacy driver in accordance with the determined type of application. The most appropriate printer driver may be automatically selected in accordance with the determined type of application. Thus, a user does not have to inconveniently select a printer driver whenever the user prints data and the data may be printed using the most appropriate printer driver. Furthermore, an optimized printing operation may be performed even when a user does not check whether an application to be used is a particular type of application, or whether a printer driver corresponding to the application is an XPS driver or a legacy driver.

Method and apparatus for driving printer driver according to a determined application and method and apparatus for installing the printer driver

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.
