<p>Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling printing jobs in a terminal such as a PC connected to an image forming apparatus when a printing job is requested while the image forming apparatus is off-line. The method includes receiving a printing job request from an application program, detecting whether the image forming apparatus is off-line in response to the printing job request, indicating that the image forming apparatus is off-line and receiving a selection of whether to perform or cancel the requested printing job from a user when the image forming apparatus is off-line, and storing image data of the requested printing job in a memory when the user selects performing the requested print job. A user is asked whether to continue to perform the requested printing job when the image forming apparatus is off-line and the user can select a printing job to be performed from printing jobs temporarily stored in a memory when the status of the image forming apparatus converts from off-line to on-line.</p> |
