<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently perform authentication printing processing by suppressing network loads, consumption of CPU resources, and occupation of a network band during authentication printing execution by suitably controlling a spooler device. <P>SOLUTION: A printing management system includes: a related spooler storage means of storing ID information on a user, and identification information on a related spooler holding a print job of the user so that they correspond to each other; a job request destination answering means of reading identification information on a related spooler corresponding to a specified user with reference to the related spooler storage means and providing it for a printer device when receiving an inquiry about a request destination of a print job from the printer device while the user is specified; and a spooler managing means of selecting a spooler of (M-N+1) to M related to a user X when the number M spoolers related to the user X stored in the related spooler means is larger than a threshold N (N>1), and instructing the selected spooler related to the user X to delete or transfer the print job of the user X. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
