Abstract: An information processing method for providing transferable printing setting information is disclosed. The method may include two steps. In the first step, printing setting information used for printing data of a file is applied by an information-processing device and received in an image-forming device. In the second step, the printing setting information is recorded in a data area in the file having no influence to the original data in the file when the file is operated through an application. The recorded printing setting information may be transferred together with the original data when the file is transferred to another information processing device and may be applied to a different image forming apparatus to configure printing settings accordingly.

Abstract: When an image forming apparatus receives print data to which page quantity information has been added from an external apparatus, it decides by which emulation among a plurality of types of emulations to interpret the print data, and outputs the print data emulation-processed depending on the decision to an engine which forms an image for each page. Further, when it is determined that the page quantity of the print data outputted to the engine is larger than the page quantity indicated by the page quantity information, the apparatus instructs the engine to suspend image formation.

Abstract: In a network that connects a plurality of computers and a printing apparatus, a printing system whose printing apparatus receives a print job from the computers and performs printing based on the received print job, includes a function restriction information storage unit which stores function restriction information that restricts a printing function for each of groups divided according to users of the computers, and a control unit which inhibits a restricted printing function from being fulfilled based on the function restriction information stored in the function restriction information storage unit in accordance with a group of one of the computers when the one of the computers uses the printing apparatus to perform printing.
