1. A server comprising:
a hardware processor comprising a memory and configured to: put one or more jobs connected to one or more users in a spool queue; and a user information receiver which receives from a printing apparatus user information of a user who is logged on to the printing apparatus; the hardware processor further configured to: search to find one or more jobs connected to the logon user among the one or more jobs waiting in the spool queue, by using the user information received; and control such that the most recent job among the one or more jobs found by the search is transferred to the printing apparatus in response to a logon of the user, and further control, on the basis of one or both of: the job title of the most recent job; and the spool time the most recent job is put into the spool queue, such that a part or all of the one or more jobs found by the search, excluding the most recent job, are kept without being transferred to the printing apparatus in response to the logon of the user, wherein: the hardware processor is configured to control on the basis of the spool time that the most recent job is put into the spool queue, and when the gap of spool time between the most recent job and any one or more of the found one or more jobs excluding the most recent job is a predetermined period of time or less, the hardware processor is further configured to control such that the any one or more jobs is transferred to the printing apparatus; and when the gap of spool time between the most recent job and any one or more of the found one or more jobs excluding the most recent job exceeds a predetermined period of time, the hardware processor is further configured to control such that the any one or more jobs are kept without being transferred to the printing apparatus.
