Abstract:
A printing system restricts printing performed by a printing apparatus in a case where predetermined information, representing a printing amount of the printing by utilizing a consumable part, reaches a set 1st value during printing in a state where communication between a server and the printing apparatus is impossible, and the server outputs a 2nd value, which is different from the 1st value, to the printing apparatus in a state where the communication with the printing apparatus is possible. If the 2nd value is input from the server, the printing apparatus restricts the printing in a case where the predetermined information reaches the 2nd value during printing in a state where the communication with the server is impossible, and in a case where a time period related to maintenance of the server is input, the server outputs the 2nd value to the printing apparatus, based on the time period.
