Abstract
The present invention provides a print distribution system in which plural printing apparatuses are connected over a network, and printed data created by a data processing apparatus of a sender is distributed to plural distribution destinations. The print distribution system includes an association information holding unit that holds in advance information indicating correspondences between plural distribution destinations and plural printing apparatuses used in the plural distribution destinations, and a print setting management unit that collectively manages settings of print conditions of the plural printing apparatuses. When a request to print out the printed data is outputted from the sender, the print setting management unit, on the basis of information held in the association information holding unit, locates plural printing apparatuses used in specified plural distribution destinations, sets the print conditions for the plural located printing apparatuses, and activates the printout of the printed data.
