Abstract
When a personal computer transmits an IP address and detects a defective line connection, it issues a transmitting request of addresses to all apparatuses including printers connected to a network line. When a received MAC address coincides with its own MAC address held in the computer, print data is transmitted to the printer having the received IP address and the held own IP address of the printer is updated by the received IP address.
