Abstract
After a first server obtains a change instruction to change a connection destination of a specific printing apparatus connected to the first server to a second server, the first server sets the printer information of the specific printing apparatus to a locked state. While the printer information is in the locked state, the first server allows processing to reference the printer information and denies processing to update the printer information. After the second server stores the printer information received from the first server, the second server notifies each of the first server and an application server cooperating with the second server that the printer information has been stored. After the first server obtains the change instruction, the first server instructs the specific printing apparatus to connect to the second server.
