Abstract: A server device includes: a communication unit configured to be able to communicate with a terminal device via an SNS server device providing a social networking service; and a controller configured to be able to control whether printing is available at a printing device or not. The controller receives a second print instruction at a second time point after receiving a first print instruction at a first time point by the communication unit, and makes printing based on the second print instruction unavailable at the printing device when it is determined that a time period from the first time point to the second time point is shorter than a predetermined time period.
