Abstract

A client PC has a virtual print server service (client) for searching a server on a network and issuing a print request to the searched server. The server has a virtual print server service (server) for searching a printer on the network on the basis of the print request from the client and registering a print job into the searched printer. Thus, when the client PC temporarily participates in the network and allows the printer connected to the network to print, the troublesome setting in the client PC is unnecessary.
