Abstract: A printing system includes: a printing device; and a server connected to the printing device via a network. The server includes a print instruction acquisition unit that acquires a print instruction by voice from a voice mediation device and a transmitter that transmits to the printing device print data for printing content based on the print instruction among printable content. The printing device receives the print data, and performs printing in accordance with the print data. The print instruction includes a list print instruction for printing a list of at least part of the printable content. When the list print instruction is acquired, the transmitter transmits list data for printing the list to the printing device. The printing device receives the list data, and prints the list in accordance with the list data.

Abstract: A printing system includes a printing device; and a server connected to the printing device via a network. The server includes: an instruction acquisition unit that acquires an instruction verbally given by a user from a voice mediation device, the instruction including a print instruction; a transmitter that transmits print data based on the acquired print instruction to the printing device; a storage that stores a history of printing based on the print instruction in association with identification information of the user; and a management unit that generates management information to manage the printing by the user based on the history in association with the identification information. The transmitter transmits the generated management information to a notification destination. The printing device receives the print data, and performs printing in accordance with the print data.

Abstract: A printer driver causes a computer to perform a function of printing by attaching a color material to a recording medium. The printer driver causes a computer to perform: an image displaying function of displaying an image; a region designating function of accepting designation of a region to be a print object in the displayed image; a color material amount acquiring function of specifying a target representing a color equivalent to a color represented by the region among a plurality of targets, and acquiring an amount of the color material reproducing spectral reflectance characteristics equivalent to the target from a database; and a printing function of performing printing based on the amount of the acquired color material.

Abstract: An output device comprising: a first unit that receives a request for an output service via a network; a second unit that receives a data processing service required for providing the requested output service via the network; and a third unit that provides the requested output service in a directly perceptible form based on data provided by the data processing service.
