ABSTRACT:
A printing system configured by connecting, over a network, a client terminal for making a printing request using a printer driver, a terminal for making a server-dedicated print request, a server which receives the printing requests from the client terminal and the terminal and instructs printers that corresponds to the printing requests to perform printing, and multiple printers which perform printing in accordance with the printing instruction from the server, the server having a logical printer in which physical printers of output destinations are previously registered and various printing instruction information are set, and supports printing functions for performing printing in accordance with a print instruction set in a logical printer specified by a user, in which the server comprises: an examination unit which, when the server receives the printing request, checks whether or not the received printing request is specified by the printer driver of the client terminal; a recognition unit which, if the examination unit determines that the received printing request is specified by the printer driver of the client terminal, analyzes the received print data and recognizes contents of user's print instruction; and a print control unit which performs a print control by reflecting the contents of the user's print instruction recognized by the recognition unit on print job attributes of the specified logical printer so to make the printing instruction to a printer that satisfies conditions of the use print instruction.
