Abstract
A driver management unit of a management server develops non-[1:1] type association information generated in a batch association creation mode into [1:1] type association information. On the other hand, the driver management unit stores association information created in an ordinary association creation mode in a data storage unit without performing the development. Further, the driver management unit transmits a list of the association information stored in the data storage unit to a client in response to a request, and distributes a driver selected from the list to the client in such a way as to create a logical printer of a device that corresponds to the association information selected from the list for the client.
