Abstract: A print control server that controls printing through an SNS includes a registration section configured to register, in association with each other, a first account that is an account of a user of the SNS and print setting information including designation information of a printer to be used for printing. The registration section issues a first password when accepting a designation of the first account and a designation of a second account that is an account of a user of the SNS and that is to be a share destination of a print setting, notifies the first account of the first password through the SNS, and registers, when a password posted on the SNS by the second account coincides with the first password, the print setting information registered in association with the first account also in association with the second account.

Abstract: Provided is technology simplifying managing locally connected devices. A device management system configured to connect through a network a device manager and a relay manager that connects to multiple devices through a local communication path. The device manager sends to the relay manager through the network a first process request, the first process request conforming to SNMP, and containing device identification information identifying a device that connects to the relay manager. The relay manager acquires from the first process request target identification information identifying management information to process in the management information of a device, generate a second process request containing the target identification information, and send the second process request through the local communication path indicated by the device identification information contained in the first process request.

Abstract: A printing system includes: a printing device; and a server connected to the printing device via a network. The server includes a print instruction acquisition unit that acquires a print instruction by voice from a voice mediation device and a transmitter that transmits to the printing device print data for printing content based on the print instruction among printable content. The printing device receives the print data, and performs printing in accordance with the print data. The print instruction includes a list print instruction for printing a list of at least part of the printable content. When the list print instruction is acquired, the transmitter transmits list data for printing the list to the printing device. The printing device receives the list data, and prints the list in accordance with the list data.
