PRINT SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING PRINT JOB THROUGH VIRTUAL PRINTER, AND METHOD AND MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a client with seamless access to a printer regardless of print protocols used in respective print jobs.SOLUTION: A print system includes a physical printer and a print processing device capable of processing a print job from a client system. The print processing device includes a virtual printer functioning to detect a print protocol associated with the print job, determine that the print protocol does not match with the print protocol of the physical printer, configure the print job using the print protocol of the physical printer on the basis of the print protocol associated with the print job, and process the print job according to the print protocol of the physical printer. In doing so, a protocol converter can map printer commands of the print protocol of the print job to printer commands of the print protocol of the printer.
