Printing system and information processing apparatus, method, and program for controlling job transmission based on authentication setting of an image forming apparatus

摘要

To prevent a printing apparatus from performing unnecessary processes, there is provided an image processing apparatus which is communicable with the printing apparatus and comprises: a determining unit configured to determine whether or not authentication information of the printing apparatus has been set in a print job; and a controlling unit configured to control to not transmit the print job to the printing apparatus in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the authentication information has not been set in the print job, and control to transmit the print job to the printing apparatus in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the authentication information has been set in the print job.

1. A printing system which includes an image processing apparatus and a printing apparatus,
wherein the image processing apparatus comprises:
a receiving unit configured to receive a print job transmitted from an information processing apparatus;a generating unit configured to generate image data based on image information included in the received print job; anda transmitting unit configured to transmit a print job data including the generated image data to the printing apparatus, wherein the printing apparatus comprises:
an authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on authentication information included in the print job data transmitted from the image processing apparatus; anda printing unit configured to perform printing based on the generated image data included in the print job data according to success of the authentication, and wherein the image processing apparatus further comprises:
a first determining unit configured to determine whether or not an authenticating function of the printing apparatus is enabled;a second determining unit configured to determine whether or not authentication information has been set in the print job transmitted from the information processing apparatus; anda controlling unit configured to control to:i) transmit the print job-data including the authentication information to the printing apparatus in a case where it is determined by the first determining unit that the authenticating function of the printing apparatus is enabled and it is determined by the second determining unit that the authentication information has been set in the print job,ii) not transmit the print job data to the printing apparatus in a case where it is determined by the first determining unit that the authenticating function of the printing apparatus is enabled and it is determined by the second determining unit that the authentication information has not been set in the print job, andiii) transmit the print job data to the printing apparatus irrespective of whether or not the authentication information has been set in the print job in a case where it is determined by the first determining unit that the authenticating function of the printing apparatus is not enabled.
