Abstract
A job management system includes a print server and an image forming apparatus. The print server publishes, on a network, a print-job information list in an RSS format. The image forming apparatus spontaneously obtains and reads the print-job information list, and, based on the print-job information list, requests the print server to transmit a print job. In response to the request, the print server transmits the print job to the image forming apparatus.
