摘要：A printing system which realize a finely-tuned print function limitation and hence achieve efficient reduction in cost. The printing system comprises a printing apparatus that executes a print job, a print control apparatus that controls the printing apparatus, a print authority management server that manages an print authority of the printing apparatus, and a data base server that holds a print function limitation information. The print control apparatus transmits two or more pieces of information required to limit a print function of the printing apparatus to request production of a print authority token of limiting the print function. The print authority management server receives the two or more pieces of information, searching the print function limitation information held in the database server based on the respective pieces of information to produce a print authority token, and transmit the print authority token to the print control apparatus. The print control apparatus adds the received print authority token to the print job and then transmit the print job to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus limits an instruction to the print job based on the print authority token, when the print authority token is added to the received print job.
