Title:
PRINT SYSTEM AND PRINT MANAGEMENT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3106833
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To reduce the load on a print management device and to eliminate the execution of a complicated exception processing when a fault occurs in a printer.
CONSTITUTION: When a print request is received from a work station 14 in the print management device 18, it judges an objective printer (16A, 16B and 16C), transmits the print requests to the respective printers and registers the print request in a management table as a print waiting state. When the respective printers receive the print requests, they register them in print queues, take them out from the print queues when a system becomes a print possible state and inquire the propriety of the execution of a print processing as against the print request concerned. Since the processing as against the print request is not executed yet in the printer 16 which is inquired first, the print management device 18 transmits a print possible notice, and transmits a print impossible notice to the other printers. The printer 16A requests the transfer of print data to the work station 14 and executes the print processing by transferred print data.
