When there are any problems in a device in a print server which the user wants to allow to execute a job, another device that can execute the job exactly is automatically selected and the job is sent thereto. The print server manages plural printers. The print server, upon reception of print job data including printer specification from a client, checks status of the specified printer in a data distributing section. When its status has some problem, the print server, in accordance with a print redirecting method that has been previously set in a writable nonvolatile memory by the user, selects another printer that is in a normal state, and sends print data of its print job to another printer that has been selected.
