Abstract: A determination is made as to whether priority is given to a print setting or a print preset by a general-purpose print service performed on an information processing apparatus. This makes it possible to resolve a conflict in settings.

Abstract: A multifunction peripheral includes means for receiving a request from a multifunction peripheral management service, means for enabling a function in the multifunction peripheral in accordance with the request, and means for transmitting a result of the request as a response to the multifunction peripheral management service.

Abstract: If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is not an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted for each type of printing protocol. If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted while distinguishing a transmission source application by identifying a transmission source application.

Abstract: A printing unit determines one method based on a user setting from among two methods of a first method of printing a print job for a cloud account associated with a user account under a condition that a login process has been performed by a login unit, and a second method of printing a print job notified by an event notification in response to receiving the event notification from a cloud print service even when the login process has not been performed by the login unit, and the printing unit prints a print job by the determined one method.

Abstract: If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is not an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted for each type of printing protocol. If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted while distinguishing a transmission source application by identifying a transmission source application.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which is capable of preventing communications with a desired external apparatus from becoming impossible due to settings on a proxy server. The proxy server is used to carry out communications on a main line with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via the Internet. On a sub line, communications are carried out with an external apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus via a local network. The main line or the sub line is selected as a line to be used. Communications with the external apparatus connected to the line to be used are carried out via the proxy server. When the line to be used is the sub line, communications are carried out directly with the external apparatus, which is connected to the line to be used, without using the proxy server.

Abstract: A printing apparatus is provided such that, if a publication state of the printing apparatus in a cloud print service indicates public, a URL for registering the printing apparatus to a public printer is acquired and the acquired URL is enabled to be output from the printing apparatus.

Abstract: A printing apparatus performs wireless communication based on Bluetooth Low Energy by selecting a format of a Bluetooth Low Energy packet to be transmitted from a plurality of formats and transmits a Bluetooth Low Energy packet in the selected format, where the plurality of formats includes a format associated with a print application of device external to the printing apparatus.

Abstract: A printing apparatus that can be registered to a printing service on the Internet includes a processor that executes registration to the printing service in a case in which an administrator, which has successfully logged in to the printing apparatus via an administrator login screen, instructs the registration to the printing service. A user, which is not the administrator, cannot instruct the registration to the printing service in the case in which the login function of the printing apparatus is enabled. In addition, in a case in which the login function is disabled, the display displays a registration screen used for instructing to execute the registration to the printing service, and the at least one processor executes the registration to the printing service in response to the instruction to execute the registration to the printing service.

Abstract: A printing apparatus that receives print data from a cloud server providing print service and performs printing transmits a request to register the printing apparatus to the cloud service to the cloud server providing the print service and stores information related to an ID of a user who has logged in the printing apparatus in association with information related to a print service account used in the registration after accepting the request for the registration.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which does not reserve a print job when a user is supposedly close to the image forming apparatus so that convenience for the user can be improved. Data that is to be sent to an external apparatus and includes identification information is generated and written in a near-field wireless communication unit which the image forming apparatus has. When the image forming apparatus receives a print request, it is judged whether or not the identification information is included in the print request. When it is judged that the identification information is not included in the print request, the image forming apparatus is controlled to carry out a printing process without reserving a print job corresponding to the print request.

Abstract: A printing apparatus that can be registered to a printing service on the Internet includes at least one processor that executes instructions to execute a registration to a printing service upon receiving an instruction to execute registration to the printing service via a registration screen displayed on a display, and an administrator successfully logging in to the printing apparatus via an administrator login screen displayed on the display. In a case in which a system management setting is OFF, the display displays the registration screen used for providing the instruction to execute the registration to the printing service, and the at least one processor executes the registration to the printing service in response to the instruction to execute the registration to the printing service.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus wirelessly communicates with an information processing apparatus without passing through an access point, provides a print service in which predetermined printing is performed in response to a print request from the information processing apparatus via a wireless communication unit, and enables a setting that is used for providing the print service if the setting is disabled when the information processing apparatus establishes communication with the image processing apparatus via the wireless communication unit.

Abstract: If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is not an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted for each type of printing protocol. If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted while distinguishing a transmission source application by identifying a transmission source application.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus which allows execution of NFC touch-to-print printing on condition that user authentication is successful, thus preventing NFC touch-to-print printing from being performed by every user. The information processing apparatus is equipped with an NFC (near-field communication) unit which has a memory. When authentication of a user is successful, connecting information for an external device to connect to the information processing apparatus is written into the memory.

Abstract: A version of a web service supported by an information processing apparatus before a firmware update and a version of the web service supported by the information processing apparatus after the firmware update are compared, and, based on a result of the comparison, predetermined processing corresponding to a case in which the versions differ is performed.

Abstract: In a case where a setting of a function is changed from enabled to disabled, a printing apparatus stops transmission of a Bluetooth Low Energy packet in a format compatible with the function.

Abstract: A printing apparatus performs wireless communication based on Bluetooth Low Energy by selecting a format of a Bluetooth Low Energy packet to be transmitted from a plurality of formats and transmits a Bluetooth Low Energy packet in the selected format, where the plurality of formats includes a format associated with a print application of device external to the printing apparatus.
