摘要

A printing system is provided in which a printer and a server are connected to a network. The server performs service to a terminal on behalf of the printer after the start of the printer activation and before the completion thereof, the service being such as instructing printing and receiving print data. The server, after receiving a completion notification of activation from the printer, instructs the terminal to suspend a print sequence, transfers, to the printer, the print data received on behalf of the printer, and instructs the terminal to cancel suspending the print sequence.
