Abstract
In a printing system, a first apparatus transmits, to a printing apparatus, a printing instruction containing location information indicating the location of printing content on a network. When receiving the printing instruction, the printing apparatus updates the location information contained in the received printing instruction in accordance with a medium setting indicating a recording medium on which printing is to be performed, and issues a request for printing content corresponding to the updated location information through the network. In response to the request from the printing apparatus, a second apparatus transmits the printing content corresponding to the updated location information to the printing apparatus through the network, and the printing apparatus receives the printing content and performs printing of the printing content on the recording medium. Accordingly, printing content suitable for a printable region of a medium on which printing is to be performed can be easily acquired and printed.
