Peripheral apparatus control
First Claim
1. A peripheral apparatus control system, configured by an information processing apparatus using a printer queue required to stack print jobs, and a peripheral apparatus, which are connected via a network,wherein said information processing apparatus comprises:
- an issuance unit that issues, to said peripheral apparatus, a request required to acquire a response including information that represents whether or not said peripheral apparatus is configured to notify said information processing apparatus of an event; and
an acquisition unit that acquires and saves the response from said peripheral apparatus, andsaid peripheral apparatus comprises;
a return unit that returns a response including information that represents whether or not said peripheral apparatus is configured to notify said information processing apparatus of an event in response to the request issued from said information processing apparatus, andwherein when the information included in the response returned from said peripheral apparatus after said information processing apparatus has sent data of the print job to said peripheral apparatus is information that represents that said peripheral apparatus is configured not to notify said information processing apparatus of any event, said information processing apparatus deletes the print job from the printer queue.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus, which is connected to a peripheral apparatus via a network, issues, to the peripheral apparatus, a request required to acquire a response including information that represents whether or not the peripheral apparatus can notify the information processing apparatus of an event upon completion of print processing. Then, when the information included in the response returned from the peripheral apparatus in response to the request represents that the peripheral apparatus cannot notify the information processing apparatus of any event, the information processing apparatus deletes a print job, data of which have been sent to the peripheral apparatus, from a printer queue required to stack print jobs.
