Printing system, printout apparatus, and recording medium

摘要

An external terminal transmits a print job to a printout apparatus and also transmits authentication information required for user authentication in printing that involves authentication to the printout apparatus at one time or a plurality of times and at a different time from the transmission of the print job. The printout apparatus identifies the authentication information received from the external terminal as information to be used for the user authentication when a transmission source user of the authentication information and a client user of the print job are determined to be the same on the basis of transmission-source user identification information for identifying the transmission source user and client user identification information for identifying the client user.

主权项

1. A printing system comprising:
a printout apparatus that performs printing involving authentication; and an external terminal capable of communication with the printout apparatus, the external terminal including: a transmission unit that transmits a print job to the printout apparatus and transmits authentication information required for user authentication in printing that involves the authentication to the printout apparatus at one time or a plurality of times and at a different time from a time of transmission of the print job, and the printout apparatus including: a communication unit that receives the print job from the external terminal and receives the authentication information from the external terminal at one time or a plurality of times and at a different time from a time of reception of the print job; an acquisition unit that acquires transmission-source user identification information for identifying a transmission source user of the authentication information when the authentication information is received from the external terminal, and acquires client user identification information for identifying a client user of the print job when the print job is received from the external terminal; and an identification unit that identifies the authentication information received from the external terminal as information to be used for the user authentication when the transmission source user and the client user are determined to be the same on the basis of the transmission-source user identification information and the client user identification information.
