INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

This application is based upon, and claims the benefit of priority from, corresponding Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-132471 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Aug. 4, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND

Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a print job transmitting device for transmitting a print job and a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a print job transmitting program.

Description of Related Art

Typically, an image forming system, which includes an image forming apparatus to perform printing and a print job transmitting device to transmit a print job to the image forming apparatus, is known. The image forming apparatus can implement multi-managing of execution orders of a plurality of print jobs (hereinafter referred to as a “job execution order”).

SUMMARY

A print job transmitting device of the present disclosure includes: a print job transmitting device to transmit a print job to an image forming apparatus; an order change requester to request the image forming apparatus to change a job execution order, as an execution order of print jobs, that is managed by the image forming apparatus; and an order notifier to acquire the job execution order managed by the image forming apparatus and notify the acquired job execution order. The order notifier acquires the job execution order from the image forming apparatus every time the specific time period is lapse until the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus is not different from a new job execution order after the order change requester requests the image forming apparatus to change the job execution order into the new job execution order, and the order notifier notifies the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus when the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus is not different from the new job execution order.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of the present disclosure stores a print job transmitting program, the print job transmitting program causes a computer to realize: a print job transmitting device to transmit a print job to an image forming apparatus; an order change requester to request the image forming apparatus to change a job execution order, as an execution order of print jobs, that is managed by the image forming apparatus; and an order notifier to acquire the job execution order managed by the image forming apparatus and notify the acquired job execution order. The order notifier acquires the job execution order from the image forming apparatus every time the specific time period is lapse until the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus is not different from a new job execution order after the order change requester requests the image forming apparatus to change the job execution order into the new job execution order, and the order notifier notifies the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus when the job execution order acquired from the image forming apparatus is not different from the new job execution order.
