PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing system capable of appropriately performing printing regardless of a combination of an application program corresponding to JDF and a printer.SOLUTION: When printing instruction information described in a JDF code is transmitted to a printer from a PC (a step S1), the printer acquires an application name of an application program through which the printing instruction information has been generated from the received printing instruction information, and transmit the application name to a server (a step S2). The server retrieves JDF analytical data D1 corresponding to the application name (a step S3) and transmits the JDF analytical data D1 to the printer (a step S4). The printer refers to the JDF analytical data D1 received from the server; acquires function information corresponding to the JDF code included in the printing instruction information received at the step S1 (a step S5); and performs printing with the number of copies set to "5" (a step S6).
