Abstract:
A printing system, when information about an image forming apparatus is registered in a printing service apparatus or when information about the image forming apparatus already registered in the printing service apparatus is updated, determines whether firmware installed in the image forming apparatus corresponds to the printing service apparatus. If the firmware installed in the image forming apparatus is determined not to correspond, the printing system determines whether firmware corresponding to the printing service apparatus exists in firmware of the image forming apparatus distributed by the distribution server. If the firmware corresponding to the printing service apparatus is determined to exist and when that firmware is distributed from the distribution server to the image forming apparatus, the printing system installs the distributed firmware.
