PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately manage logs by generating a log from a print job uniquely managed by an application, and associating the log with a log generated by a main body function.SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus which acquires a print job to be received from an external device by a print application before acquiring the print job by a main body function, and stores the print job, a print log is generated according to the attribute information of the print job stored, and the print log is transmitted to a management device. While, in an image forming apparatus which has executed printing, the identification information of the print job of a print log generated therein is rewritten to the identification information used in the print log when the print job is stored, and the rewritten print log is transmitted to the management device. 【課題】アプリケーションが独自に管理する印刷ジョブからログを生成し、当該ログと本体機能で生成されたログとを関連付けて、ログを適切に管理することである。【解決手段】外部装置から受信する印刷ジョブを本体機能で取得する前に、印刷アプリケーションにより取得し、格納した画像形成装置で、格納する印刷ジョブの属性情報を用いて印刷ログを生成し、管理装置に送信する。また、印刷を実行した画像形成装置で生成した印刷ログの印刷ジョブに係る識別情報を、印刷ジョブを格納した際の印刷ログで利用した識別情報に書き換えて印刷ログを管理装置に送信する。【選択図】図４
