Abstract
A printing system includes an image forming apparatus that accepts a printing instruction from a mobile terminal, sends an inquiry to a server as to whether a printing reservation corresponding to the accepted printing instruction is managed by the server, and transmits connection information to the mobile terminal if the printing reservation is managed by the server. The image forming apparatus obtains printing data corresponding to the printing instruction from the mobile terminal set in the connected state, executes printing processing using the obtained printing data, and sets communication with the mobile terminal to an unconnected state after execution of the printing processing is complete. If the printing reservation corresponding to the accepted printing instruction is not managed by the server, the printing instruction accepted from the mobile terminal is rejected and the connection information is not transmitted to the mobile terminal.
