Print operations are monitored and a DLP policy is applied, independently of the print interface technology used by applications that initiate print operations. A DLP component monitors for and detects print drivers being loaded into the print spooler. When a print driver is loaded, the print spooler creates a corresponding driver object, which is intercepted. The instantiated driver object creates multiple device objects to carry out various print functions. The device object print functions of interest are intercepted. Attempts to send text to the printer at a print driver level by intercepted device object functions are monitored, and application level context information is identified, such as the associated 0user. The DLP policy is applied to monitored attempts to send text to the printer at the print driver level, taking into account application level context information and the specific text of the monitored attempt.

A logic circuitry package for a replaceable print apparatus component includes an interface including a power terminal and at least one logic circuit. The at least one logic circuit is configured to respond to communications sent to a first address via the interface and respond to communications sent to a second address via the interface. The at least one logic circuit is configured to in response to a first command sent to the first address, draw a first current on the power terminal; and in response to a hibernate command sent to the first address, respond to communications sent to the second address and draw a second current on the power terminal less than the first current.

An information processing system includes a communication section and a processing section. The communication section is used to communicate, through a network, with a collection target apparatus and a terminal device capable of using an application that manages and displays status associated information of the collection target apparatus. The communication section obtains status associated information including an event that occurs in the collection target apparatus. The processing section performs a process of generating display screen information of the status associated information that is displayed by the application activated when link information is selected in the terminal device and that is specified by the link information. Furthermore, the communication section transmits the display screen information to the terminal device.

The illustrative embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for notifying a user when a set of characters are identified in a media file. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a set of characters inputted by the user of a computing device, playing the media file, transcribing the media file to form a transcription, and determining whether the transcription of the media file includes the set of characters. The method also includes initiating a notification prompt on a graphical user interface of the computing device in response to determining that the media file includes the set of characters.

An audio control device receives a print instruction by audio and causes a print apparatus connected to an external access point to execute a print process in accordance with the print instruction received by audio.

A print system includes a printer including an ink head from which ink is discharged onto a recording medium, and a management computer communicably connected to the printer. The management computer includes a receiver to receive operating condition information of the printer from the printer, a predictor to predict whether maintenance work of the printer is necessary or not based on the operating condition information received by the receiver, and a notifier to notify at least one of a user of the printer, a service engineer, and a call center if the predictor predicts that the maintenance work is necessary.

Disclosed are a printing method using websocket communication and a management method for a websocket communication channel. The printing method includes establishing, by a printing apparatus, a websocket channel for communicating with an external apparatus, requesting, by the printing apparatus, print data from the external apparatus through the websocket channel, determining, by the printing apparatus, whether a predetermined condition associated with an acquisition of the print data is satisfied in response to the request for the print data, and controlling, by the printing apparatus, a channel duration time of the websocket channel when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

An image forming apparatus generates embedded information for uniquely identifying a page, for each page of a document, prints the document while embedding the embedded information into the document, and registers a set of pieces of the embedded information in a blockchain service. The image forming apparatus thereby verifies whether the printed product is a correct printed product.

A print control method uses print control software to communicate with OS printing software operating in an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a printer. The method includes identifying, by the print control software, an error occurring in the printer based on status information obtained from the printer, and performing control such that in a case where the OS printing software is not capable of displaying the identified error, the print control software notifies the OS printing software of an identifier indicating a generic error such that the generic error is displayed in an area for displaying a state of the printer in the display screen, and the print control software notifies the OS printing software of a message corresponding to the identified error such that the message corresponding to the identified error is displayed in an area for displaying a state of a job in a display screen.
