  • Patent number: 11106414
    Abstract: A printing system includes: a printing apparatus; and an information processing apparatus coupled to the printing apparatus over a network. The information processing apparatus includes a history storage unit that stores a print history that indicates a history of a printing operation performed by the printing apparatus. An acquisition unit acquires a keyword contained in a voice print command from a voice intermediate apparatus. A target record determiner determines, based on the keyword, a target record from individual records contained in the print history; the target record is an individual record to be reprinted. A print data transmitter generates print data, based on a related content and transmits the print data to the printing apparatus; the related content is one of printed contents which corresponds to the target record. The printing apparatus receives the print data and performs the printing operation in accordance with the print data.
