An information output system includes a user terminal that issues a print
job containing print data, a management server that receives and stores
the print job, and an information output unit that acquires print data
from the management server and executes printout. The user terminal
transmits a print job specifying a print reception user of a print data
recipient. The management server includes a print job processing section
that stores and manages the print job in association with a user
identifier of the print reception user, and a user authentication section
that receives the user image information and executes user authentication
based on comparison processing between the received user image
information and registered user image information stored in a user
information database. Provided that the user is authenticated, the print
job processing section acquires print job data with the authenticated
user set as the print reception user and transmits the print job data.
