摘要

PURPOSE: A printing control device using a virtual printer, a method thereof, an authentication server thereof, and an authentication method thereof are provided to enhance security more than an existing printing system by inputting a printing command to a user terminal and performing user authentication through an authentication device at the time when actual document printing is wanted.;CONSTITUTION: When a printing command for outputting a document is received from a user of a user terminal storing printing target data, a virtual printing unit (110) converts printing target data corresponding to the printing command into image type data, encodes the data, and generates user information for user authentication and document information of the printing target data. A user authentication unit (120) transmits the user information and the document information to an authentication server between the user terminal and an authentication device and receives a printing request command including authentication information indicating an authentication result of the user and identification information of a printer designated by the user.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013;[Reference numerals] (110) Virtual printing unit; (120) User authentication unit; (130) Print controlling unit
