Abstract:
A system includes servers for providing a printing service. Each server manages printer information relating to a printing apparatus connected thereto and print job information relating to a print job to be executed by a printing apparatus connected thereto. After a first server obtains a change instruction to change a connection destination of a specific printing apparatus connected to the first server to a second server, the first server transmits the printer information of the specific printing apparatus to the second server. After the first server obtains the change instruction, the first server instructs the specific printing apparatus to connect to the second server. After the connection destination of the specific printing apparatus is changed to the second server, the first server transmits the print job information of the specific printing apparatus to the second server.
