<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printer with a built-in server capable of efficiently performing a recovery operation for a printing operation when a malfunction occurs in the printer by obviating the need of a separated server machine and to provide a method of the printing operation using the printer. <P>SOLUTION: This method of the printing operation is realized by using the printer with the built-in server including a printing means 1, a server means 2, and a printing control means 3. The method comprises a first process for detecting the presence or absence of occurrence of a malfunction in the printing means 1, a second process for storing a print job transmitted from a client device to the server means 2 when the occurrence of the malfunction in the printing means 1 is detected, and a third process for reading the print job stored in the second process from the server means 2 and performing the print job after the printing means 1 is recovered. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
