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.

Abstract: A system comprising a multi-function device 112 configured to communicate with both a server 111 and a cloud service 121. The multi-function device 112 comprises: an output unit 407 configured to send S102, S401 identification information of the multi-function device 112 to the cloud service 121; an input unit 407 configured to receive S106, S403 controller information which identifies either the server 111 or the cloud service 121 as a controller of the multi-function device 112; and a login unit 406 configured to receive S201, S501 authentication information. The output unit 407 is further configured to send S202, S204 an authentication request including the authentication information to the controller 111, 121 identified by the controller information. The input unit 407 is further configured to receive S203, S205 an authentication response from the controller 111, 121 that indicates whether or not the authentication information is accepted.

Abstract: A printer driver maintains a list of print servers that a client computer can use to send a print job to a printer, and renders the print job into a page description language. A print processor creates a first print queue for sending the rendered print job to a first print server and adds the rendered print job to the created first print queue, and monitors sending of the rendered print job in the first print queue. If the sending of the rendered print job from the client computer to the first print server is not successful, the print processor creates a second print queue and adds a duplicate print job to the second print queue by duplicating the rendered print job in the first print queue, the printer driver sends the duplicate print job in the second print queue to a second print server.
