ABSTRACT:
A client-server system includes a client personal computer and a plurality of printers, all connected to a network. One of the printers broadcasts a GET request using SNMP at a predetermined timing to the other printers to obtain model name, idle rate, and information about image files stored in each of the other printers. Later, a Web browser of the client personal computer sends a Web page request. The printer receives this request. Based on the information obtained from the broadcast, a Web server inside the printer prepares HTML data and sends the HTML data to the client personal computer. The HTML data designates one or more of the other printers as image sources for the client to obtain or otherwise receive the image files from. Based on the HTML data, the Web browser of the client personal computer requests the image files from the other printers.
