Abstract
An authentication printing system, comprising: an authentication unit that acquires authentication information from a user and authenticates based on the authentication information that the user possesses the authority to execute authentication printing (referred to as “authorized user”); a printing unit that acquires a print job corresponding to the authorized user from a printing job holding unit, and executes the authentication printing based on the print job (referred to as “print execution job”); a re-authentication unit that acquires the authentication information from a user upon completion of print processing, with regard to the print execution job, and authenticates based on the authentication information that the user is the authorized user of the print execution job; and a determination unit that determines that a printed matter is collected by the authorized user with regard to the print execution job, when re-authentication is completed with regard to the print execution job.
