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.

The first controller of the image forming apparatus transmits first apparatus state information of the own image forming apparatus to the other image forming apparatus, and when second apparatus state information of the other image forming apparatus is received, stores the second apparatus state information in the storage device. The second controller of the information processing apparatus transmits an information collecting request to the image forming apparatus. When the information collecting request is received, the first controller transmits the first and second apparatus state information to the information processing apparatus. When the first and second apparatus state information are received, the second controller displays positions, functions, and power on states or off states of the own image forming apparatus and the other image forming apparatus indicated by the first and second apparatus state information on the display device.

A processing system includes an acceptance unit, a first transmission unit, an obtaining unit, and a second transmission unit. The acceptance unit accepts an instruction for performing a process. The first transmission unit transmits the instruction to a processing apparatus. The obtaining unit obtains identification information for identifying a substitute apparatus that performs at least a portion of the process indicated by the transmitted instruction on behalf of the processing apparatus. The second transmission unit transmits the instruction accepted by the acceptance unit to the substitute apparatus by using the identification information in a case where the identification information has been obtained.

An information processing apparatus has a display device, a touch panel, a communication device, and a controller. A default icon is displayed on the display device as a startup icon. Function information is received from the image processing apparatus, the function information indicating multiple functions of the image processing apparatus. When a particular status is occurring in relation to at least one of the multiple functions, particular status information is received from the image processing apparatus, the particular status information indicating the particular status and display the startup icon displayed on the display device to a function icon corresponding to the received particular status information, and display a status icon indicating the particular status.

An information processing system includes a device, a first apparatus that is connected to the device via a first network, and a second apparatus that is connected to the device via a second network and is unable to receive a request from the first apparatus. The device includes an input part that inputs image data and a transmission part. In a case where the second apparatus corresponds to an output destination of the image data, the transmission part transmits the image data to the second apparatus via the second network. In a case where an apparatus that is capable of receiving data from the first apparatus corresponds to the output destination of the image data, the transmission part transmits to the first apparatus via the first network a transmission request to have the image data transmitted to the output destination.

Examples disclosed herein relate to receiving, at a first printing device, a request to print a print job, determining, by the first printing device, whether the print job has been received by the first printing device, in response to determining that the print job has not been received by the first printing device, determining whether a second printing device has received the print job, and, in response to determining that the second printing device has received the print job, retrieving the print job from the second printing device and printing the print job at the first printing device.

A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions which cause an information processor to execute: a first determination processing for determining whether at least one of a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition is established; a first communication processing for receiving input data obtained from an input device and transmitting the input data to an output device, when at least one of the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established; and a second communication processing for transmitting instruction information to the input device when none of at least one condition determined in the first determination processing among the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition is established. The instruction information is for instructing the input device to transmit the input data to the output device.

An information processing apparatus identifies, from among printers for each of which a first type of printer driver has been installed, a printer for which a second type of printer driver is installable. The information processing apparatus displays, as candidates for a printer for which the second type of printer driver is to be installed, printers in a search result, acquired from an operating system, from which printers for each of which a printer driver has been installed are excluded, and the identified printer.

An information terminal includes: a communication unit; and a control unit configured to control the communication unit, wherein the control unit is configured to establish a communication channel with another terminal by using the communication unit, and the communication unit is configured to receive device information containing an address of an image processing device positioned on the periphery of the another terminal, and transmit the device information of the image processing device positioned on the periphery of the another terminal to an image processing device positioned on the periphery of the information terminal.
