Abstract:
A printing system according to an embodiment includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses, a server, and a plurality of client terminals. The client terminal displays a setting screen for a user to select, as a print mode, one of a first print mode in which user authentication is not required and a second print mode in which the user authentication is required. When the second print mode is selected as the print mode, the user terminal transmits to the server information related to the user, a print instruction in accordance with the second print mode, and the print job. The server determines whether the user has authority to perform printing in the second print mode. When the user is determined to have the authority, the server transmits the print instruction and the print job to the particular image forming apparatus registered for that user.

Claim (Index 1):
A printing system comprising:\n a plurality of image forming apparatuses in communication with a network; a server in communication with the network; and a plurality of client terminals in communication with the network, at least one of the client terminals being configured to:\n display a setting screen for a user to select, as a print mode, one of a first print mode in which a user authentication is not required in a particular image forming apparatus registered from the plurality of image forming apparatus that is to perform printing of a print job belonging to the user, and a second print mode in which the user authentication is required in one of the plurality of image forming apparatuses that is to perform printing of the print job, and \n when the first print mode is selected as the print mode, transmit to the server over the network, a first-print-mode print job along with identification information of the user and designation of the first print mode, \n wherein the server is configured to:\n store authorization information related to whether or not the user is authorized to instruct printing in the first print mode and information related to the particular image forming apparatus for performing printing in the first print mode for the user, in connection with the identification information of the user; \n when the first-print-mode print job is received, determine whether or not the user is authorized to instruct printing in the first print mode, based on the authorization information; and \n when it is determined that the user is authorized to instruct printing in the first print mode, transmit the first-print-mode print job to the particular image forming apparatus for performing printing in the first print mode for the user.
