1. A printing system comprising:
an image forming apparatus including an identification information sending section configured to send identification information via radio waves; a server including a print data managing section configured to manage print data in association with user information; and a mobile device including an identification information receiving section configured to receive the identification information sent via radio waves by the identification information sending section, wherein the mobile device further includes
an information transmitting section configured to transmit to the server the user information and the identification information received by the identification information receiving section in association with the user information anda distance detecting section configured to detect an inter-device distance between the mobile device and the image forming apparatus according to intensity of the radio waves sent by the identification information sending section of the image forming apparatus, the server further includes
a specific operation performing section configured to perform a specific operation for causing the image forming apparatus corresponding to the identification information transmitted by the information transmitting section in association with the user information to execute a print job based on the print data that is managed by the print data managing section in association with the user information transmitted by the information transmitting section,a job retention instructing section configured to cause, via transmission of print data managed by the print data managing section of the server to the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus to retain a print job based on the print data in a standby state, anda job suspending section configured to causes, when the image forming apparatus is incapable of retaining a new print job due to absence of a sufficient vacant area of a storage region in the image forming apparatus in a situation in which the job retention instructing section causes the image forming apparatus already retaining a print job to retain the new print job, the image forming apparatus to suspend execution of the print job already retained in the image forming apparatus and the new print job in descending order of inter-device distances transmitted by the information transmitting section of the mobile device in association with the user information managed by the print data managing section of the server in association with the print data on which the print jobs are based, the information transmitting section of the mobile device transmits to the server the inter-device distance detected by the distance detecting section in association with the user information, and the specific operation performing section of the server performs the specific operation in a stepwise manner according to the inter-device distance transmitted by the information transmitting section. |
