Abstract
A printing system includes: a first printer; a second printer; a server device; and a client device. The first printer is configured to perform: receiving first authentication information; accessing, in response to determining that first authentication performed according to a first authentication method is successful, the server device using first account information; receiving, from the server device, a print job stored in association with user identification information included in the first authentication information; printing an image based on the print job. The second printer is configured to perform: receiving second authentication information including the user identification information; accessing, in response to determining that second authentication performed according to a second authentication method is successful, the server device using second account information; receiving, from the server device, the print job stored in association with the user identification information; and printing the image based on the print job.
