Abstract
A print server receives a print instruction from a client terminal and causes printing to be performed by a print device selected by the client terminal out of print devices registered with the print server. If a print device unregistered with the print server is selected, the print server acquires device information about the unregistered print device via the client terminal. The print server generates a print setting screen for the unregistered print device from the acquired device information and transmits the print setting screen to the client terminal. The print server further generates print data for the unregistered print device from print settings set by the client terminal on the transmitted print setting screen, and causes the printing to be performed.
