An information processing apparatus manages whether each of a plurality of print plug-ins is in an enabled state or in a disabled state, the plurality of print plug-ins adding at least a search function to an operating system operating on the information processing apparatus, and, if a search for a printer is instructed and the plurality of print plug-ins includes a print plug-in in the disabled state, performs a search for a printer by a print plug-in in the enabled state, and displays a detection result and a setting screen for setting the print plug-in in the disabled state to the enabled state.

A local delivery service (LDS) operates in an enterprise computer network as a proxy for a communications server (CS) computer operating in a cloud computing environment. The LDS pulls a queue repository maintained by the CS and retrieves an output item flagged by the CS for local delivery. The output item has a document and associated configuration information specifying an application domain in the cloud computing environment and delivery settings specific to the application domain maintained by the CS. The LDS translates the delivery settings and routes the document to the connectors of communications channels of the enterprise computer network. In this way, documents produced by the CS in the cloud can be delivered locally to disparate destinations on the enterprise computer network without having to open individual ports in a firewall of the enterprise computer network to connect the CS with communications channels of the enterprise computer network.

The web server program causes the information processing apparatus to function as: a reception unit that receives a request from a web application executed on the web browser; an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from the request, information about a domain of the web application executed on the web browser; a determination unit that determines whether or not to permit communication with the web application executed on the web browser, based on the domain indicated in the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and a transmission unit that transmits a response to the web browser based on the result of determination of the determination unit, wherein the web server program communicates with an external apparatus connected to a network, and acquires, from the external apparatus, information used for authentication or authorization by the external apparatus.

A print processor is provided and executes layout processing excluding reduction processing in accordance with at least a determination that a print setting causing the reduction processing is made as a print setting, and notifies a printer driver of information about the layout processing excluding the reduction processing. The printer driver scales, upon reception of the information about the layout processing excluding the reduction processing from the print processor, rendering data subjected to the layout processing excluding the reduction processing by the print processor based on a parameter included in the notified information, and generates print data to be transmitted to a printing apparatus, based on the scaled rendering data.

The web server program causes the information processing apparatus to function as: a reception unit that receives a request from a web application executed on the web browser; an acquisition unit configured to acquire, from the request, information about a domain of the web application executed on the web browser; a determination unit that determines whether or not to permit communication with the web application executed on the web browser, based on the domain indicated in the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and a transmission unit that transmits a response to the web browser based on the result of determination of the determination unit, wherein the web server program communicates with an external apparatus connected to a network, and acquires, from the external apparatus, information used for authentication or authorization by the external apparatus.

A method and apparatus for printing a scheduled print job by a printing device connected to a client device over a network. The method includes transmitting, by the client device, a request to print the scheduled print job to the printing device. The scheduled print job include print data and schedule data corresponding to a scheduled time the print data is to be printed. The printing device obtains the print job from cloud storage or from local storage depending on a storage selection indicator, and executes the scheduled print job at the scheduled time. A determination is made as to whether the scheduled print job was printed successfully at the scheduled time. Further, a message indicating whether the scheduled print job was printed successfully, based on the determination, is sent to a predetermined device.
