Abstract:
A print management device of the invention receives thumbnail images corresponding to object images of a print service and e-mail addresses of acquaintances specified by a user, from a printing apparatus, in response to the user's request. The print management device sends an e-mail including an URL for browsing the thumbnail images and a print permission password to each of the specified acquaintances. Each of the specified acquaintances may thus browse thumbnail images with the print permission password and provide an order for printing original images corresponding to selected thumbnail images. The print management device notifies the user of order information with regard to the order for printing the original images, asks the user to permit or deny execution of a print service with regard to the order, and sends the order for the print service to a photo studio for execution of the print service, in response to permission for the order.
