Abstract
The invention for printing by a printer in accordance with a requesting order of jobs from clients when an error occurs in a server or the server is shut-down. It is possible to reconstruct a print system in which each client computer spools print data, only job information is transmitted to the server, and the server performs an order control, wherein when an abnormality occurs in the server, the client computer set as a reserve server functions in place of the server and each client computer confirms whether the job registered by itself has correctly been registered or not, thereby enabling a printing process to be normally performed.
