A print management system, includes a management unit to receive print manuscript data from a connected manuscript processor, and obtain status information indicating states of connected multiple output enabled printers; a status identification unit to predict whether the output enabled printers stop in the middle of a print job; and a print data generator to generate multiple types of print data whose amount of toner consumption during printing is different respectively, based on the print manuscript data. The management unit classifies the output enabled printers predicted that there is less possibility to stop in the middle of a print job as output candidate printers, and selects an output destination printer from the output candidate printers. The management unit selects one type of print data from the multiple types of print data, depending on the output destination printer, and outputs the selected print data to the output destination printer.
