Problems solved by technology

However, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-44080, if multiple printers are used, the printers displayed as icons are limited to one default printer
Therefore, in order to display the status of another printer, etc., another printer must be set as the default printer, or a dialog display or a display window must be opened, and, therefore, the display operation is cumbersome

Abstract

A printing device monitoring system is provided in which, through resident display, the operating states of a plurality of printing devices selected and used by a user can be known. In this method, according to the printing instruction from the terminal device, multiple printing devices connected through the network perform printing, and the operating status of the multiple printing devices instructed to print is used as separate icons corresponding to the printing devices, Instead, it is displayed on the resident display portion of the terminal device. For example, the occurrence of an error in the printing device is displayed by changing the display form of the corresponding icon. The display of the icons on the resident display portion may be displayed when printing in each printing device starts and erased when printing in each printing device ends.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a printing device monitoring method, and a printing device monitoring system which monitors the state of a printing device when a plurality of printing devices connected to a network are used for printing. Background technique [0002] Recently, a user selects a predetermined printing device from among a plurality of printing devices connected to each other through a network to print one document in a distributed manner using a plurality of printing devices in a short time, or to simultaneously print different documents using a plurality of printing devices. documentation. Since the statuses of a plurality of selected printing devices can be displayed on the terminal device as a dialogue usually by using a monitor utility, the user can know the progress of printing, the number of copies to be printed, and the like. [0003] In order to display the progress of printing, it is necessary to activate the monitor tool every...
