PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To fairly divide costs by distinctly separating one' use and others' use.;SOLUTION: Based upon a print request, a print management device 4 gives a print instruction to a multi-function printer 3. The print management device 4 includes: a print user fetching part 21 which fetches information about a user who uses prints produced by the multi-function printer 3 following the print instruction; a print history update part 23 which stores the print user information fetched by the print user fetching part 21 and the number of prints into a storage part 12 as history data; and a use counter part 24 which counts the number of prints for each print user based on the history data stored in the storage part 12, thereby creating count data.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
