Abstract
Upon reception of print jobs from a host, an application server holds the print jobs, saves a price list, and calculates the cost to output the print jobs based on the price list and the setting information of the received print jobs. The server transmits the cost information and print jobs to a print apparatus which outputs the print jobs. The print apparatus displays the received cost information on an operation unit to make a user determine whether to output the print jobs prior to output of the jobs.
