Provided are a device and a method of generating printing information. The method includes acquiring at least one image part by splitting a basic image acquired based on a user input; determining a target article corresponding to the basic image from a three-dimensional (3D) article list stored in a database (DB) by using the at least one image part; providing a graphical user interface (GUI) capable of editing a shape of the target article according to a user input; and editing the shape of the target article, based on a user input via the GUI, and generating printing information used to 3D print the edited target article.

A host apparatus connected with an image forming apparatus and a web page printing method thereof. The method of printing a displayed web page includes capturing at least one area on the displayed web page, displaying the at least one captured area in a first area disposed adjacent to the displayed web page, editing the at least one captured area displayed in the first area, and executing the at least one captured and edited area. With this, it is convenient for a user to select, edit and print a desired area from a web page.

An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a memory storing a program and a processor configured to execute the program to implement processes of determining whether an execution request for executing a function of the information processing apparatus has been accepted from a user, acquiring information relating to the execution request upon determining that the execution request has been accepted, generating a screen to be displayed on a display unit based on the acquired information relating to the execution request, executing an authentication process with respect to the user, and controlling the display unit to display the generated screen when the user has been successfully authenticated by the authentication process.

A host apparatus which controls screen capture using a web capture application or a capture application, and a screen capture control method thereof. The host apparatus shares capture areas or saved files using a web capture application through which a screen of a web browser is captured and is compatibly saved or using a capture application through which a desktop screen is captured and is compatibly saved.

A method of image processing includes: reading a data file in a predetermined page description language including a search key; chaining a plurality of pieces of resource data in each of a plurality of resource dictionaries; loading the chained plurality of pieces of resource data in each of the plurality of resource dictionaries in a memory area including unique keys; searching the requested resource data from the chained pieces of resource data using the search key for matching the unique key of the requested resource data one by one along the chain in both direction from a starting piece of resource data; labeling each of the plurality of pieces of resource data based on a history of the matching. The searching includes determining the starting piece of resource data in the chained plurality of pieces of resource data based on the history.
