1. A printing system, comprising:
- a storage part that stores correspondence information that defines a setting of a first communication tool and a second communication tool for obtaining information from an image processor with respect to each of a plurality of protocols, wherein the settings of the first and second communication tools with respect to the plurality of protocols include a command acceptable by the first communication tool and information as to whether to use the second communication tool; and
a processor configured to execute a program stored in the storage part so as to cause the printing system toidentify a protocol to be used with respect to the image processor among the plurality of protocols in creating a print queue for displaying a status of the image processor;
determine the setting of the first and second communication tools corresponding to the identified protocol based on the correspondence information; and
reflect the determined setting of the first and second communication tools in the print queue.

Abstract
A printing system includes an identification part configured to identify a printing protocol to be used with respect to an image processor in creating a print queue for displaying a status of the image processor and a reflection part configured to reflect, in the print queue, a definition of a communication setting used for bidirectional communications between an information processor and the image processor, the definition corresponding to the identified printing protocol.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon, wherein the program is executed by a processor of a computer to cause the computer to:
-
identify a protocol to be used with respect to an image processor among a plurality of protocols in creating a print queue for displaying a status of the image processor; determine, based on correspondence information that defines a setting of a first communication tool and a second communication tool for obtaining information from the image processor with respect to each of the plurality of protocols, wherein the settings of the first and second communication tools with respect to the plurality of protocols include a command acceptable by the first communication tool and information as to whether to use the second communication tool, the setting of the first and second communication tools corresponding to the identified protocol; and reflect the determined setting of the first and second communication tools in the print queue. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
