PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of attaining higher efficiency of processing in the whole distributed processing type print processing system.;SOLUTION: A request transmitting part 1a of a client PC 1 transmits path request information for requesting a print processing path to the path search server 2 according to a user's print instruction input through an input device. A path receiving part 1b receives path information indicating the print processing path from the server 2. An instruction transmission part 1c transmits the path information and PDL data to an apparatus subsequent to the client PC1 on the print processing path indicated in the path information. A receiving part 2a of the path search server 2 receives the request from the client PC 1. A path determination part 2b finds a print processing path referring to information of printers P1 and P2 and print servers PS1, PS2 and PS3 stored in an apparatus information database. A path transmission part 3c transmits path information indicating the found print processing path to the client PC1.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
