Print system, usability information generation device, usability information generation method, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium encoded with usability information generation program
An information processing apparatus transmits a print job to a server and generates print status information including user identification information and a print condition included in the print job. Each of one or more image forming apparatuses transmits a transmission request, forms an image based on the print job, and generates device information including state information indicating its operating state. The server transmits a print job that includes the same user identification information as the user identification information included in the transmission request, to the image forming apparatus that has transmitted the transmission request. One of the server, the one or more image forming apparatuses, and the portable information device generates usability information indicating usability in a case where the print job is executed in each image forming apparatus, based on the device information and the print status information. The portable information device outputs the generated usability information.
