In a system which receives a print service via the Internet, a client is
enabled to recognize the updating of printers provided for a shop which
can receive the print service without installing a new printer driver for
each printer, thereby enabling it to be used for printing. In a client
100, the above object is accomplished by providing means for forming
print data by using a printer driver 102 which can set print set
information corresponding to a plurality of printers on the basis of a
printer information description file 103, forming a print order on the
basis of the formed print data and the print set information set by the
printer driver, promoting activation of a Web browser 108, and requesting
an access to a center server 120 which can communicate via the Internet.
