  • Publication number: 20150160900
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for controlling printing using a virtual printer, and an authentication server and authentication method therefor. A virtual printing unit of the printing control apparatus encrypts data to be printed corresponding to a print command, as an input, the print command for outputting a document, and generates document information which is information on the data to be printed, and/or user information for user authentication. A user authentication unit transmits the document information and/or the user information to the authentication server for user authentication, and receives, from the authentication server, a print request command including printer identification information designated by a user and/or authentication information indicating the result of user authentication. A printing control unit decrypts the encrypted data to be printed when the print request command is received, and transmits the decrypted data to be a designated printer.
