  • Publication number: 20240143245
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus generates print data in a first format and communicates with a printing apparatus, and obtains, from OS standard print software which operates in a computer, print data in a second format different from the first format and including document data, print setting by a user, and information related to paper indicating a paper size supported by the printing apparatus, converts the print data such that a size of the document data is converted in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, and generates the converted print data as the print data in the first format and sends the generated print data to the printing apparatus. The predetermined condition includes a condition that, among the information related to paper, one or more sizes associated with a regular size specified based on the print setting include an irregular size different from the specified regular size.

  • Patent number: 11755259
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes printing control software capable of generating print data of a first format and is capable of communicating with a printing apparatus. The information processing apparatus obtains print data of a second format containing print setting information from OS-standard printing software which runs in the information processing apparatus, the second format being different from the first format, obtains a settable list, and displays a predetermined screen in a case where print setting information contained in the print data meets a predetermined condition. A screen containing information on usage is displayed as the predetermined screen where the predetermined condition is that a particular print setting is contained in the print setting information and information as an indication to display the predetermined screen is displayed in an item in the settable list corresponding to the particular print setting and the predetermined condition is met.

  • Publication number: 20230273757
    Abstract: A server for receiving a print job from a print service that has received the print job from an information processing apparatus is provided. The server includes an access unit configured to access the print service, a condition management unit configured to manage a condition concerning access to the print service, an access management unit configured to manage a status of past access to the print service, and a determination unit configured to determine, based on the status of past access, whether the condition is not to be satisfied by newly accessing the print service. In a case where it is determined that the condition is not to be satisfied, the access unit does not newly access the print service.
