Abstract
A terminal-server-printer driver generates job-ticket data including function-restriction information set by a manager. Upon receiving a print instruction, the job-ticket data is added to print-job data and the print-job data is transmitted to a print-control module. The print-control module selects a first printer driver and/or a second printer driver for processing based on details on the print-job data, and outputs the print-job data and the job-ticket data in accordance with the first printer driver and/or the second printer driver. The first printer driver and/or the second printer driver rewrites the print-attribute settings thereon without fail on the basis of the job-ticket data, and transmits drawing data generated on the basis of the rewritten print-attribute settings to a printer.
