Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2003-27531 filed Apr. 30, 2003, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present general inventive concept relates to a printer management and printing control system used with printers to enable effective use and management of the printers connected with a communication network. More particularly, the present general inventive concept relates to a printer management and printing control system used with printers, which is capable of providing respective clients, connected with a management server, with status information about the connected printers when printing a command of an application program of the clients' is executed, thereby allowing each client to select various functions. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Generally, computers are connected through a LAN (local area network) and share a certain number of printers such that the computers can selectively transfer print data to the printers for printing. [0006] When an application program of a certain client executes a printing command, a predetermined printer driver is operated to transmit print data to a corresponding printer for printing. Accordingly, printing is carried out through the corresponding printer in a predetermined way. However, users can not choose printing conditions of the printers, such as a printing quality and speed. [0007] For example, some printers may have a high quality while others do not. Also, certain printers may be used more frequently than the others. As for the clients, the clients may want a higher printing quality rather than a speed in some instances, or want a fast printing rather than a good printing quality in other instances. [0008] The conventional fixed printing, however, cannot satisfy these requirements. Additionally, the conventional printing is based on a direct printing method, which requires using a corresponding driver of devices in use, and therefore, the user can not fully utilize the respective additional features of the printers, such as text or image insert or printing of a single page in multiple copies. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0009] Accordingly, the present general inventive concept has been made to solve the above-mentioned and/or problems, and an aspects of the present general inventive concept is to provide a printer management and printing control system used with printers to provide high utilization of connected printers, with which, when a printing command is requested from an application program of a client, status information of the connected printers is displayed in a predetermined format, so that a user is enabled to select desired ways of printing. [0010] Another aspect of the present general inventive concept is to provide a printer management and printing control system used with printers to provide various additional printing features of the printer by storing a metafile, which is recognizable by every printer driver, using a virtual printer driver, such as SecuPrint. [0011] Additional aspects and advantages of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept. [0012] The above and/or other aspects of the present general inventive concept can be achieved by providing a printer management and printing control system including a server, at least one client, and a plurality of printers, each being connected through a communication line. The at least one client may include an interception agent to drive the virtual printer driver by intercepting a print command including print data sent from an application program, a virtual printer driver, such as SecuPrint, driven by the interception agent to convert the print data sent from the application program into a metafile and to store the metafile, and at the same time, to request a printing of the stored metafile, and a system controller, upon a print request of the virtual printer driver, to transmit printing information including client information to the server, to request the server for the transmission of printer information and current status information of the printers, to receive a print permission information from the server including the printer information and the current status information of the printers, and to indicate the same according to a predetermined format. The server may include a service part to interface data transmission and reception among at least one client and the plurality of printers, each being connected through the communication line, a database part to store therein the client information, the printer information and the current information of the plurality of printers, and printing information sent from the clients, and a controller to determine whether to allow the printing request of the clients, and at the same time, to read out from the database part the printer information and the current status information of the plurality of printers and to transmit the read information to the clients. [0013] The interception agent can intercept APIs (Application Program Interfaces) of all GDIs (Graphic Device Interfaces) detected during the printing request of the application program and transmit the intercepted information to the virtual printer driver. [0014] The print permission information sent from the server may include certain data designated by the server inserted therein. [0015] The certain data may include one of an identification pattern insert for the prevention of unauthorized printing, a barcode insert for the handling of printouts, and a special text insert. [0016] A form of the certain data can be changed to another form when a printout document bearing the certain data is copied, so as to indicate non-authenticity of the copied document.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0025] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present general inventive concept, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments are described below in order to explain the present general inventive concept by referring to the figures. The matters defined in the description such as a detailed construction and elements are nothing but the ones provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of the general inventive concept. Thus, it is apparent that the present general inventive concept can be carried out without those defined matters. Also, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the general inventive concept in unnecessary detail. [0026] [0026]FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a printer management and printing control system used with printers according to an embodiment of the present general inventive concept, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a client of the printer management and printing control system of FIG. 1. [0027] Referring to FIG. 1, this embodiment of the present general inventive concept may employ (n) clients, a management server 400, and three network printers connected through a LAN. Each client can be connected with its local printer, and the management server can be connected with an external device via Internet. FIG. 1 depicts the management server 400 being connected with the LAN. However, any adequate alternatives are possible. For example, the management server 400 may be connected via Internet. Although this embodiment will be described with respect to a particular example of a network printer which is connected through a communication network, the present general inventive concept can be applicable to a plurality of connected printers including a local printer connected directly with each client. [0028] Referring to FIG. 2, the client may include an application program 22 where a printing command is executed. The client may further include an interception agent 23 and a virtual printer driver 26, such as a SecuPrint. The interception agent 23 can be installed in a system, can always be operated in the system, and can not be deletable from the system by a user. The interception agent 23 can intercept a time point of printing by intercepting an API function of all GDIs generated during printing, thereby controlling only the virtual printer driver 26 to perform printing in a printer 28. The virtual printer driver 26 communicates with the GDI of a system controller 21 to store data in a storage part 24 in a form of a device-independent metafile. The client can communicate with the management server 400 through a communication module 25. [0029] [0029]FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of intercepting the API function at a client. Referring to FIG. 3, in operations S100 and S102, the interception agent 23 can intercept a printing command ‘StartDoc( )’ from the application program 22 to drive the virtual printer driver (SecuPrint) 26. The virtual printer driver (SecuPrint) 26 can convert print data into a metafile and store the metafile in the storage part 24 in operations S104 and S106, and if the data is inconvertible to the metafile, can end the process in operation S104. [0030] In operation S108, the virtual printer driver (SecuPrint) 26 can transmit to the management server the client information, such as a client ID, a client name, document information, and printer driver information, and printing information, such as a file name and a file size, through the use of the communication module 25, and can request from the management server 400 verification and status information of the printers, to output the print data. [0031] When the verification and the status information of the printer are received from the management server 400 in the system controller 21, the system controller 21 can output the status information through a monitor (not shown) in a proper pattern shown in FIG. 4. The application program 22, the interception agent 23, the storage part 24, the communication module 25 and the monitor (not shown) may be operated under the control of the system controller 21. Meanwhile, during the verification from the management server 400, the system controller 21 may additionally output special information which was not included in the printing request from the application program 22 for an original document, to the printer. The additional information may be expressed in various ways, such as a text insert, an identification pattern to prevent unauthorized reproducing, and a barcode containing printing information. The text insert may include the name of a printing person, the date of printing, the printer in use, or a security mark for verification. The identification pattern may be configured such that it changes forms when reproduced unduly. The barcode contains the printing information so that it provides detailed information of the printing when read. [0032] [0032]FIG. 4 is a view illustrating a screen of printer status information being displayed on the monitor by the control of the system controller 21. [0033] Referring to FIG. 4, the printer status information can include a job count waiting at a first, a second and a third printers all being connected through a network, a number of pages for printout, a printing speed, a printing resolution, a waiting time, and a file name. FIG. 4 specifically shows a case where two print jobs are waiting for the first printer, which are slower than other printers in printing speed but higher in printing resolution. The first printer 1 also shows a relatively longer waiting time, compared with other printers. The second printer has a fast printing speed, but relatively low in printing resolution, and the second printer indicates zero waiting time because there is no current printing job waiting. The third printer is in an intermediate state in printing speed, resolution and waiting time. [0034] When a printing command is received from a certain client in the driving of the application program 22, the virtual printer driver (SecuPrint) 26 can be executed by the interception agent 23, and the system controller 21 can display on the monitor the status information of the printer which is received from the management server 400. Accordingly, the user of the client can select optimum printing conditions, for example, manual selection, automatic selection, cluster printing or polling printing, as well as various factors, such as printing quality of the original document and a printing speed being considered. For example, with the status information of the printer received from the management server 400 as shown in FIG. 5, the user who is more concerned about the printing quality can select the first printer through the manual selection, the user who cares more about the printing speed can select the second printer through the manual selection, and the user who cares more about the printing speed and the waiting time can select the third printer through the manual selection. The user may select the printer having the least printing time automatically through the automatic selection, or can print the print data of one document through a plurality of printers by the polling printing. The cluster printing can provide fast printing by assigning each printer with a printing job suitable for their capabilities. For example, in printing out 1000 pages, pages from 1 to 200 can be printed through a 10 PPM printer, pages from 201 to 400 can be printed through a 20 PPM printer, and pages from 401 to 1000 can be printed through a 50 PPM printer. [0035] [0035]FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating the management server 400 of FIG. 1. The management server 400 may include a service part 401, a controller 402, a database (DB) part 403, a web part 404, and a storage backup part 405. [0036] The service part 401 can interface transmission and reception of data between the client and the printers of the communication network (LAN) and can be provided with a protection module which prevents break-in by malicious hackers. The DB part 403 can store therein client information, printing information, printer information, printer status information, and security information. The client information can include serial numbers, IPs, and the names of the clients, the printing information can include a file name of print data requested by the clients, a file size, and a file type, and the printer information can include a printing resolution and a printing speed. The printer status information can include a printing job and a waiting time, and the security information can include files with a limited access and one who gives authority to print the files. The web part 404 is connected with an external Internet to enable an external administrator to view the data and to control printing through the Internet. [0037] The service part 401, the web part 404, and the DB part 403 can be operated under the control of the controller 402, and the controller 402 can determine whether to print or not based on the comparison of the printing information and the client information of the service part 401, such as the serial number, IP, client name, and file name, with those of the DB part 403. If printing is allowed, the controller 402 can read the current status information of the printers from the DB part 403 and transmit the read information to the client. At this time, a menu screen as shown in FIG. 4, can be displayed on the monitor of the management server 400 for the management and control of the printers. The menu screen can also be provided to remote systems via the Internet, through the web part 404. Accordingly, the external administrator can also manage and control the printers from the remote places. [0038] Meanwhile, if the management server 400 can allow printing, the printer information and the current status information of the printer can be displayed on the monitor of the client (see FIG. 4) by the system controller 21 of the client. If the user of the client responds to the use of a certain printer, the system controller 21 can transmit the use information of the certain printer to the management server 400 via the communication module 25. The controller 402 of the management server 400 can selectively store the printer use information transmitted from the client in the DB part 403, and transmit control commands to the certain printer and the client to operate the certain printer according to the printer use information. When the control commands are received, the system controller 21 of the client can operate the printer driver 26 to read out and transmit the metafile of the storage part 24 to the printer so that the printer can perform printing. [0039] [0039]FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a printer management and printing control system according to another embodiment of the present general inventive concept. Referring to FIG. 7, a printer 200 a, 200 b . . . 200 n can be connected to one client 300. The client 300 can be installed with a variety of application programs 322 and can include an interception agent 323, a virtual printer driver 326, a system controller 321, a database (DB) part 327, a web part 328 and a storage backup 330. [0040] The operations of the interception agent 323, the virtual printer driver 326, the system controller 321, the DB part 327, the web part 328 and the storage backup 330 can be substantially identical to those of the corresponding elements in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, and therefore, description thereof will be omitted, and the main difference of this embodiment is discussed below. The main difference of this embodiment from the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2 lies in the fact that the operation of the management server can be processed within the client 300. More specifically, the system controller 321 can divide and store the printing information which is transmitted from the virtual printer driver 326 with the print request in the DB part 327, compare the printing information with the printing information stored in the DB part 326, and accordingly determine whether to permit the printing or not. If the system controller 321 permits the printing, the printer information and current status information can be read out from the DB part 327, and displayed on the monitor (see FIG. 4). Additionally, special information, which does not exist in the original document requested by the application program 322, can also be outputted. The special information may include the ones described above in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2. [0041] As described above in a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept, in a state that a plurality of clients, a server and a plurality of printers are connected through a communication line, each client can receive status information of the printers and can selectively have print data printed through a certain printer with desired conditions, speed and resolution. [0042] Additionally, according to the settings of the management server, a variety of information can be inserted in the printed documents, regardless of the contents of the original print data. For example, identification information to prevent unauthorized copying can be provided, or a barcode can be inserted in the printed documents so that documents can be handled electronically. According to one aspect of the present general inventive concept, special features of the printer, such as image insert or printing of a single page in multiple copies, can be supported, to enable printing of document in various forms. [0043] According to the embodiments of the present general inventive concept, the management server can control partial, or overall printing operations with respect to the clients so that unauthorized access to the documents can be prevented. [0044] The foregoing aspects and advantages of the general inventive concept are merely exemplary and are not to be construed as limiting thereof. The present teachings can be readily applied to other types of apparatuses. Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
