Abstract: Disclosed is a method of printing a transformed image corresponding to a source image. The method determines at least a first scale factor to upscale the source image to generate the transformed image, the first scale factor being at a first mathematical precision. The source image is enlarged along at least one edge of said source image edges and pixel data is copied along the source image edges into the enlarged area of the enlarged source image. The method maps each pixel of the transformed image back to a corresponding pixel into the enlarged source image including the copied pixel data along the edge of the source image. The method may determine a second scale factor, the second scale factor being at a second mathematical precision, wherein each pixel of the transformed image is mapped back to a corresponding pixel in the enlarged source image using the second scale factor.

Abstract: In a case of a first function of carrying out a cooperative processing in accordance with an instruction from a user of a multifunction peripheral (10), the user is set as an execution user. In a case of a second function of carrying out a cooperative processing in accordance with an instruction from an application, a user instructed by the application is set as an execution user. Further, in a case where an execution user of a cooperative processing carried out using the first function and an execution user of a cooperative processing carried out using the second function are identical, use history information of the execution user is managed as use history information of a single user. This makes it possible to appropriately manage use history information of a cooperative processing.

Abstract: In a print control apparatus, a specifying unit specifies a size in a first direction and/or a size in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction thereby specifying a folding size into which to fold a sheet with a printed image. A determination unit determines an output size in which the image is to be printed, based on a size equal to an integral number times the specified size in the first direction and/or a size equal to an integral number times the specified size in the second direction.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an instruction to share a printer is received at a print service, via a network, from a first user that is a member of a social networking service. A print job is received at the print service, via the network, from a second user that is a member of the social networking service. The print job is sent, via the network, to the printer to print.

Abstract: The invention allows a terminal apparatus to immediately execute print job transmission even if it is impossible to execute a direct print job by a handover. When, therefore, a mobile phone functioning as a mobile terminal performs short distance wireless communication with a printing apparatus, it receives information about peer-to-peer communication via a wireless LAN and information indicating whether the printing apparatus currently executes printing. If it is determined that another user is already executing printing, the mobile phone connects to a mobile telephone line network, and transmits a print job to a printing server for transmitting a print job to the printing apparatus.

Abstract: The advantage of the invention is to make settings on a printer to be connected with a network easy. A printer driver is connected with a server device for managing a printer A and an e-mail address by linking them through a network, and transmits print job data to the server device. The printer driver receives designation of an e-mail address managed by the server device, identifies printer A based on the designated e-mail address, and converts data as a target of printing into print job data in accordance with the identified printer A.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus (MFP), in a state where a user is logged into the MFP as an automatic login user for which a user authentication is not required, when the user authentication is performed in order to log in as another user (a login user), compares a use authority of the automatic login user and a use authority of the login user for each function. When the result of the comparison is that there exists a function, within the functions for which usage is permitted for the automatic login user, for which the usage is not permitted for the login user, the MFP modifies the use authority of the login user for that function such that the usage of that function is permitted for the login user.
