The present invention provides a print distribution system in which plural
printing apparatuses are connected over a network, and printed data
created by a data processing apparatus of a sender is distributed to
plural distribution destinations. The print distribution system includes
an association information holding unit that holds in advance information
indicating correspondences between plural distribution destinations and
plural printing apparatuses used in the plural distribution destinations,
and a print setting management unit that collectively manages settings of
print conditions of the plural printing apparatuses. When a request to
print out the printed data is outputted from the sender, the print
setting management unit, on the basis of information held in the
association information holding unit, locates plural printing apparatuses
used in specified plural distribution destinations, sets the print
conditions for the plural located printing apparatuses, and activates the
printout of the printed data.
