Method and apparatus for monitoring print job, and electronic apparatus

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for monitoring a print job, and an electronic apparatus. The method includes receiving a print job; analyzing the print job and acquiring creation time of the print job; comparing the creation time with current time, and continuing to print the print job if a time difference between the creation time and the current time is less than a first preset value; determining whether the print job satisfies a print cancellation condition if the time difference between the creation time and the current time is equal to or greater than the first preset value; and cancelling the print job if the print job satisfies the print cancellation condition.
