Abstract

An information processing device connecting to a print server via a network and connectable to a printing device is provided. The information processing device determines whether the printing device is a compatible printing device compatible with the print server or an incompatible printing device incompatible with the print server, and causes registration processing corresponding to a result of the determination to be executed.

Claims (21)

1. An information processing device connecting to a print server via a network and connectable to a printing device, the information processing device comprising:

a processor determining whether the printing device is a compatible printing device compatible with the print server or an incompatible printing device incompatible with the print server; and

an interface causing the printer server to execute registration processing of registering the printing device according to a result of the determination, wherein

in response to determining that the printing device is the incompatible printing device, the processor further determines, based on a data format printable by the printing device, whether the printing device is registrable with the print server or not.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a memory storing an identification information list about the compatible printing device, wherein

the processor collates identification information received from the printing device with the identification information list and thus determines whether the printing device is the compatible printing device or the incompatible printing device.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein

the memory stores the identification information list received from the print server.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the interface performs the registration processing of the printing device, using identification information received from the printing device and converted into a format compatible with the print server, when it is determined that the printing device is the incompatible printing device.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the interface transmits, to the printing device, an acquisition request for registration information representing whether the printing device is already registered with the print server or not, when it is determined that the printing device is the compatible printing device.

6. A print control method for causing registration processing of registering a printing device with a print server to be executed, the print control method comprising:

determining whether the printing device is a compatible printing device compatible with the print server or an incompatible printing device incompatible with the print server; and

causing the registration processing corresponding to a result of the determination to be executed, wherein

the print control method further comprises determining, based on a data format printable by the printing device, whether the printing device is registrable with the print server or not in response to determining that the printing device is the incompatible printing device.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a print control program, the print control program operating in an information processing device causing registration processing of registering a printing device with a print server to be executed, the print control program causing the information processing device to:

determine whether the printing device is a compatible printing device compatible with the print server or an incompatible printing device incompatible with the print server; and

cause the registration processing corresponding to a result of the determination to be executed wherein

the print control program further causes the information processing device to determine, based on a data format printable by the printing device, whether the printing device is registrable with the print server or not in response to determining that the printing device is the incompatible printing device.
