Abstract

A print system made up of networked devices, which include a management server, a client, and a printer. The client provides attribute information, indicating at least one attribute of the client, and capability information, indicating a capability of the client, to the management server. The management server uses the capability and attribute information provided by the client to generate a map indicating, for each of a plurality of services forming part of a print process, address information of at least one networked device capable of performing the service. The management server provides the map to the client. The client uses the address information of the map in the performance of the print process.
