Abstract
An information processing system includes a terminal device, one or more image forming apparatuses communicably connected to the terminal device using short-distance wireless communication, and an information processing apparatus to provide a service that is in cooperation with a print service provided by an external printing system. The terminal device receives an operation of selecting one image forming apparatus from among the one or more image forming apparatuses and transmits, to the external printing system, a print request including an apparatus identifier identifying the selected image forming apparatus. The information processing apparatus acquires a print job generated by the external printing system based on the print request transmitted from the terminal device, stores the acquired print job in a memory, and transmits the print job stored in the memory to the selected image forming apparatus in response to a request transmitted from the selected image forming apparatus.
