Patent ID: 8532505

Claim:
A printing system comprising: a discharge unit of a first printing apparatus that performs printing using a first color material, the discharge unit being connected to a feed unit of a second printing apparatus that performs printing using a second color material, wherein a print job of first printing data is performed in the first printing apparatus, wherein the feed unit feeds a sheet carried from the discharge unit, wherein a print job of second printing data, generated from a same print job as that of the first printing data, is performed in the second printing apparatus, wherein the first printing apparatus includes: a first user interface on which a user operates and monitors the first printing apparatus, and an associating unit that associates the first printing data with the second printing data generated from the same print job as that of the first printing data, wherein the second printing apparatus includes: a second user interface on which the user operates and monitors the second printing apparatus, a detector that detects an operating condition of the second printing apparatus, and a notifying unit that displays, when the operating condition of the second printing apparatus detected by the detector indicates an occurrence of an error that is not removed and a print job inputted into the printing system and associated by the associating unit is not completed information of a removal method for the error on the second user interface to notify the first printing apparatus of information of the occurrence of the error, wherein the first printing apparatus further includes a display apparatus that displays, on the first user interface, information of the occurrence of the error in the second printing apparatus notified of by the notifying unit, and wherein at least one of the units is implemented by a processor executing computer-executable code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory.
