  • Patent number: 8893151
    Abstract: When an instruction about changing the job execution limit information is made, a policy server determines whether or not the changed job execution limit information indicates that the execution of the job by the job execution unit is not limited. When the changed job execution limit information indicates that the execution of the job is not limited and the setting is made such that the job history information for the job is recorded on the image processing apparatus, the policy server sets the changed job execution limit information to the image processing apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8320002
    Abstract: This invention provides a flexible method capable of appropriately determining whether 2-path printing can proceed especially to second-path processing, in order to apply a conventional upper limit management mechanism to a 2-path printing system. According to this invention, when executing 2-path printing, the printing system performs upper limit management based on the sheet count of use for a user. When executing second-path print processing, even if the count of sheets used by the user in first-path print processing has reached an upper limit value, print processing is permitted in second-path print processing.

  • Patent number: 8218169
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus which is capable of reducing a burden on both an administrator and users when a job accounting system is introduced, to thereby enable efficient execution of job management. A client computer 1010 has a printer driver 1015 installed therein for generating an output job to be output to a peripheral apparatus, and delivers the output job to the peripheral apparatus via a first port monitor 1017 preset to a port as the output destination of the printer driver 1015. A second port monitor 1016 receives the output job generated by the printer driver 1015 and delivers the output job to the peripheral apparatus and collects job information on the output job. The port as the output destination of the device driver is switched from the port monitored by the first port monitor 1017 to a port monitored by the second port monitor 1016 when a system in which the job information is acquired using the second port monitor is constructed.
