<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing system through a network by which illegal or erroneous printing is evaded and an operation at the printing time is simplified. <P>SOLUTION: In this system where at least a print portal 100 functioning as a mediating server and a print station 30 are connected on a network. The print portal 100 receives a job from a job transmission origin 10 through the network, and manages it for each execution authority. When the execution authority instructions the output of a job from an instruction client 40 to the mediating server, the mediating server authenticates the execution authority in a biological authentication method or the like, and transfers the job to the print station 30. Thus, it is possible to execute print according to an instruction from the true execution authority of the job, and to evade the illegal or erroneous print. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
