<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer power supply control system and a print management device for appropriately controlling the power supply of a printer where printing will be performed, based on a user's printing history. <P>SOLUTION: An output history regarding print jobs output from a print spooler 23 is stored in an output history database 26. When a print job is received from a client PC 10, a printing terminal that a user sending the print job uses and the date and time of use are predicted based on the output history. The power supply of the predicted print terminal is warmed up from a power-saving state at the predicted date and time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
