  • Publication number: 20070226776
    Abstract: A print server receives print data and control data including at least any of a job name, a terminal name and a user name from a client terminal, sends the print data to a printer and causes the printer to print the print data. Whether the print data includes a predetermined keyword is determined, and when included, an e-mail reporting that is sent to a superior of the person who executed printing and an administrator of the system. Further, a time stamp is attached to the control data and accumulated together with the print data as a print log in a log server. The print log accumulated in the log server is searched as necessary and print image data is generated from the print data to enable browsing. This prevents information leakage via printed matters and enables tracking down the cause of leakage when there is information leakage.
