1. A printing system comprising:
an information processing apparatus; and an image forming apparatus, wherein the information processing apparatus comprises:
an acquiring unit that acquires identification information of the image forming apparatus in a printing service system from the image forming apparatus by a short-range communication; anda transmitting unit that transmits, to the printing service system, a setting request which contains the identification information of the image forming apparatus acquired by the acquiring unit and identification information of a user in the printing service system and which is a request for making a setting for permitting the user to use the image forming apparatus, wherein the image forming apparatus comprises:
a holding unit that holds the identification information of the image forming apparatus in the printing service system in such a form that the identification information can be acquired by the acquiring unit of the information processing apparatus, wherein the printing service system comprises:
a setting unit that, when the setting request is received from the information processing apparatus, sets setting information indicating that the user corresponding to the identification information contained in the setting request can use the image forming apparatus corresponding to the identification information contained in the setting request; anda print data transmitting unit that, when a print instruction which is issued by the user corresponding to the setting information and in which the image forming apparatus to which the setting information is directed is designated as an output destination is received from the information processing apparatus, transmits print data corresponding to the print instruction to the image forming apparatus, wherein the setting unit sets an expiration time in such a manner that the expiration time is correlated with the setting information, and wherein in response to receiving, from the information processing apparatus, before the expiration time, a print instruction which is issued by the user corresponding to the setting information and which designates, as an output destination, the image forming apparatus to which the setting information is directed, the print data transmitting unit transmits print data corresponding to the print instruction to the image forming apparatus. |
