PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to easily judge whether or not a cloud computing system for causing a printer to execute printing by sending an e-mail to an e-mail address associated with the printer is available under specific conditions.;SOLUTION: A trial printing device tries determining whether or not a printing control server that causes a printer to execute printing on the basis of a print request is available under specific conditions while receiving an e-mail as the print request by using an identifier corresponding to the printer registered. The trial printing device comprises: an identifier acquisition section for acquiring a tentative identifier registered at the printing control server; an e-mail transmission section for transmitting the e-mail as the print request to an e-mail address corresponding to the tentative identifier; a two-way communication section for communicating with the printing control server in a two-way manner by using the tentative identifier on the basis of a two-way communication protocol; and a trial result notification section for notifying a result of two-way communication with the printing control server.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
