A print system includes an image processing apparatus and a print apparatus that receives a print job processed by the image processing apparatus and prints an image on a sheet. The print apparatus determines whether or not a print job received from the image processing apparatus is a measurement target for measuring an image printed on a sheet, measures the image on the sheet printed by executing a print job that has been determined to be the measurement target, and transmits the result of measurement to the image processing apparatus. The image processing apparatus generates a print job serving as a measurement target, and upon receiving the result of measurement based on the transmitted print job, applies the result of measurement to a print job to be printed by the print apparatus.

The information processing apparatus performs a predetermined notification in response to a number of the network adapters connected to the information processing apparatus via the external USB ports having reached a predetermined upper limit.

A print apparatus configured to connect a plurality of wireless LAN adapters, the print apparatus includes a print mechanism configured to print on a print medium; a plurality of USB ports to which the wireless LAN adapter configured to be connected; and a processor configured to acquire information related to a wireless communication function of the wireless LAN adapter from the plurality of connected wireless LAN adapters in a case where it is detected that the wireless LAN adapters is in a state of being connected to the plurality of USB ports and executes processing which sets one higher function wireless LAN adapter to be in a usable state and sets the other wireless LAN adapter to be in an unusable state by comparing the acquired information items of the plurality of wireless LAN adapters.

A print apparatus configured to connect a plurality of wireless LAN adapters which can store regional information indicating a region, the print apparatus includes a print mechanism configured to print on a print medium; a plurality of USB ports to which the wireless communication adapters configured to be connected; and a processor configured to acquire the regional information items from the plurality of connected wireless LAN adapters in a case of detecting that the wireless LAN adapters are in a state of being connected to the plurality of USB ports and executes use adapter control processing which sets all the wireless communication adapters to be in an unusable state in a case where any one of a plurality of items of the regional information indicating the region are different from others, based on a result of comparison of the plurality of acquired regional information items to each other.

A print control device is provided with a storage unit that stores print data which is being processed in another print control device that controls a printing device so as to perform print processing based on received print data, an acquisition unit that acquires second printed-page information from the printing device, and a controller. When an error occurs in the other print control device, the controller receives first printed-page information from the other print control device, determines a restart page from the first printed-page information received from the other print control device and the second printed-page information acquired by the acquisition unit, and controls the printing device on behalf of the other print control device so as to restart the print processing based on the print data from the restart page.

A method for registering a printer to a cloud service is provided. The method includes coupling a mobile device to a printer, via a wireless connection and sending at least a serial number from the printer to the mobile device via the wireless connection. The method includes obtaining geolocation information from the mobile device and registering the serial number of the printer and the geolocation information, associated with the printer, to a cloud service, using the mobile device.

A printing control apparatus includes a processor configured to receive instruction information including print data and post-processing information indicating content of post-processing scheduled to be performed on paper on which an image based on the print data is printed, and, in a case where the post-processing included in the instruction information is not performed by a post-processing apparatus, generate an auxiliary image that assists a user to perform the post-processing, based on the post-processing information, and print the auxiliary image, together with the image based on the received print data, on the paper.

A printing apparatus management server manages a plurality of printing apparatuses, obtains, in response to a request from a voice device management server, information of a predetermined printing apparatus registered, from the plurality of printing apparatuses, as a printing apparatus to be used in the printing apparatus management server, transmits, to the voice device management server, the obtained information of the predetermined printing apparatus, obtains remaining amount information transmitted from the predetermined printing apparatus, and transmits the obtained remaining amount information to the consumable item management server. Voice notification to a user is performed, via a voice device configured to communicate with the voice device management server, based on the obtained remaining amount information, and processing for placing an order for the consumable item is performed based on a voice instruction from the user accepted by the voice device.

Convenience and security of an information processing apparatus including a USB host interface in a case where network connection is established via a USB-LAN adapter are improved. The information processing apparatus includes a plurality of external USB ports to which USB compatible network adapters are connected. The information processing apparatus performs a predetermined notification in response to a number of the network adapters connected to the information processing apparatus via the external USB ports having reached a predetermined upper limit.
