Abstract
A printer system connects a plurality of printers and a terminal via a network. First, the system inputs data for a new print from the terminal. Next, based on the inputted data, the system uses a learned model that has learned to select one printer among the plurality of printers based on data that was used in previous printing by the plurality of printers, to infer a printer suited to the new print from the plurality of printers. As a result of the inference, the system conveys the obtained printer to the terminal.
