Abstract:
1. A job status monitoring system capable of communicating with a printer, the job status monitoring system comprising: a job output unit configured to output a job to a spooler of an operating system, the job being issued in response to a job issue request; and a monitoring unit configured to monitor a status of the job output from the spooler to the printer, the status including the status indicating that the job is completed in the printer, wherein the monitoring unit notifies the spooler that a job transfer to the printer is not completed when the job is not completed by the printer even if the job transfer is completed and that the job transfer to the printer is completed when the job is completed by the printer, such that the spooler manages the job as the job transfer to the printer is not completed until the monitoring unit detects that the job is completed by the printer, and wherein an application or utility recognizes the status of the job in the printer by checking transferring status of the job in the spooler; and wherein the monitoring unit notifies the spooler that data having a size smaller than data which is really transferred to the printer is transferred, when the job is not completed by the printer even if the job transfer is completed.
