Peripheral apparatus control system, peripheral apparatus, information processing apparatus, peripheral apparatus control method, and program

摘要

In a network printing system utilizing WSD Print Service, a highly operable peripheral apparatus control system that utilizes a mass storage device and a low-cost shared printer that does not include a function for requesting print data to an information processing apparatus is provided. The peripheral apparatus control system includes an information processing apparatus and a peripheral apparatus mutually connected via a network. The information processing apparatus inputs a job request and a reservation request to the peripheral apparatus. The peripheral apparatus includes a first measurement unit that measures the difference between reception timings of the job request and the reservation request. If the difference between the reception timings is equal to or less than a first predetermined time, a reservation ID is input and a reservation of the job request is accepted.
