Example Embodiment
[0072] [Embodiment 1]
[0073] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 It is a block diagram showing the configuration of the printing system of this embodiment. Such as figure 1 As shown, a computer (hereinafter abbreviated as PC) 10 is connected to a plurality of printers (first to third printers 21 to 22) via a network 11.
[0074] In the PC 10 (printer control device), administrator authority and general user authority are set as registration authority. The user can register the PC 10 according to one of the registration rights.
[0075] In addition, a printer driver is installed in the PC 10. The printer driver is a so-called universal printer driver (common printer driver) that corresponds to a plurality of printers through one printer driver.
[0076] The administrator authority of the printer is specified in the characteristics of the printer driver installed in the PC 10. The display example of the charac...
Example Embodiment
[0150] [Embodiment 2]
[0151] Hereinafter, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the configuration shown in the first embodiment, when a plurality of PCs 10 (client PCs) are connected to the network 11, it is necessary to perform the job of setting the printers that can be used for each PC 10 by the printer manager. Therefore, in this embodiment, the burden on the printer manager can be reduced. That is, one server for printer driver installation management is provided, and printers that can be used are collectively set in this server, and each PC 10 can install a common printer driver from the server. In the state where the common printer driver is installed from the server, the PC 10 is in a state where only printers set by the administrator can be used. Therefore, the printer manager does not need to perform the job of setting available printers to each PC 10.
