The Prior Art Relied Upon
2. Tuchitoi teaches a method and system for notifying a host computer
of the status of a print job upon the occurrence of a predetermined event
related to the print job. (Abstract.)
3. As depicted in Figure 1, Tuchitoi teaches a printing apparatus (150)
that communicates with a host computer (100) via a printing medium (180).
(Col. 1, ll. 43-45). Tuchitoi also indicates that the host can be connected to
the printing apparatus via a network (Col. 23, ll.16-18).
4. The host computer (100) includes inter alia a utility module (105) that
inquires from the host computer (100) about the status of submitted print
jobs. (Col. 1, ll. 51-67).
5. Tuchitoi also teaches as part of the printing apparatus, an information
manager (160) that receives status requests for print jobs from the utility
module (105), and provides the requested information to the host (100) via
the logic channel controller (151). (Col. 2, ll. 41-48).
6. Tuchitoi teaches that when a print job has been completed, the
information manager checks the job attributes in the print job database (305)
to determine whether a print job notification address had been set up for a
particular print job. If such notification address was previously established
for the print job, upon completing said print job, the information manager
sends a notification to the address via the utility module, which displays a
pop up dialog on the host computer to inform the user of said host computer
that such print job has been completed. (Col. 13, ll. 5-28).
