Abstract: A printing system allowing an administrator to conveniently limit a function of a print device when used by a general user is provided. The printing system includes a print device, an information processing apparatus in which a general-purpose printer driver commonly usable for a plurality of models of print devices is initially set as a cloud printer driver used when printing is performed by the print device, a first server, and a second server. The printing system increases or decreases the number of functions settable by a general user by using the cloud printer driver. The first server manages an APPID of the print setting extension application to be installed when the general user uses the print device as print setting extension application designation information in association with a GUID of the print device. The second server manages a plurality of print setting extension applications in association with their APPIDs.
