A printer transfers print data received from a host computer to a cloud server, requests a response, from the cloud server, indicating an ending time period when the cloud server processes the print data, receives the response indicating the ending time period returned from the cloud server, and shifts the printer to a sleep state during the ending time period. After the printer returns from the sleep state when the ending time period has elapsed, the printer requests processed data from the cloud server, receives the processed data returned therefrom, and performs print processing on the processed data.
