Abstract
A network print system includes at least one host and plural printers, and a communication network that connects the host and the printers. In each printer, a host is selected in which print data is generated, a request is made to the host to be transmitted the print data, and a document is printed based on the received print data. In the host, plural print data is stored, and respective owners of the plural print data are set on the basis of the identification data allotted per each user. Also, in the host, a determination is made as to whether a person who has requested the print data to be transmitted is the owner of the print data, and if so, the print data is transmitted to the printer.
