Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem: when a plurality of PCs substantially simultaneously transmit print jobs to an MFP that is estimated to complete printing earlier on the basis of information on the number of jobs spooled therein, it takes more time than expected to complete printing. SOLUTION: A terminal information management part of each MFP manages a default number of PCs that indicates the number of PCs which set the MFP to be used usually. The PC selects the MFP to output the printing job, based on the default2number of PCs collected from each MFP, and outputs the print job. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
