<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for unitarily managing a device connected to a network and a device connected to an information processor connected to the network, after allowing discrimination of the devices individually. <P>SOLUTION: A device management server 1 determines if a request about the management of the device is a request for either of network devices (11a, 11b) or local devices (12a, 12b, 12c), transmits a command used in SNMP (simple network management protocol) if the request is for the network device, and transmits a PJL (printer job language) command to PCs (3a, 3b) connected with the local device if the request is for the local device. The PC having received the PJL command transmits the PJL command to the local device connected to the PC itself. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
