ABSTRACT:
The technique of the present invention increases a variation in status used for management of print jobs, thereby enhancing utility of a printer. In a printing system constructed via a network LAN, a printer PRT includes a job management apparatus that manages statuses of print jobs in conformity with International Standard ISO/IEC10175-1. The job management apparatus has a create control module6in addition to diverse functional blocks for processing the print jobs based on the International Standard. When the user gives an instruction ‘create’ to a print job in a ‘held’ status, the create control module6creates a new daughter job from the print job in the ‘held’ status as a mother job and executes printing of either the mother job or the daughter job, while keeping at least one print job in the ‘held’ status. This arrangement enables a registered document to be reprinted iteratively at any arbitrary time.
