Abstract

A print interrupting instruction is inputted from a first print control apparatus. Information indicative of an interrupting print position of the designated document is stored into a print interruption information storing unit of the print service server on the basis of the inputted print interrupting instruction. In accordance with a restarting request from a second print control apparatus, the designated document is obtained from a printed matter information storing unit or the like on the basis of the information indicative of the interrupting print position of the designated document. The printing is restarted by a second printing apparatus which is controlled by the second print control apparatus which can print.
