Abstract
A printing system includes a printer, a server device, and a client device. The client device receives identification information of a user, and transmits a print job for an image to be printed to the server device. The print job is associated with a computer name. The computer name specifis the client device and is assigned to the received identification information. The server device stores the print job in a specific folder having a name corresponding to the identification information to which the computer name is assigned and which is associated with the print job. The printer searches a folder provided in the server device to find the specific folder, receives selection of a print job from among one or more print jobs stored in the found folder, receives the selected print job from the server device, and prints an image based on the received print job.
