Abstract:
A communication processor of a user PC establishes a connection with a relay server to receive remote support by an operator PC, and installs in the user PC a printer driver for performing a print instruction to a printer driver of the operator PC from the user PC. The communication processor of the user PC transmits, via the relay server, print data generated by the printer driver of the user PC to the operator PC, for printing by the printer driver of the operator PC. The communication processor of the user PC uninstalls the printer driver from the user PC in accordance with the connection with the relay server being disconnected.
