There is a problem of making it possible to set up a driver with a simple operation when a driver for a peripheral device on the network is not installed. When a driver setup instruction is given, an instruction is sent to the specified PC to perform an operation to set up the driver specified by the user, and the information processing unit performs the operation to set up the driver based on the instruction. For example, when the peripheral device is a printer, the information processing unit determines whether or not the setup operation has been completed normally, and if the driver has been correctly installed, test printing is executed.
