摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an authentication processor, a registration unit, and a print unit. The authentication processor performs a process for user authentication with respect to a user in response to an authentication request from the user. The registration unit registers the image forming apparatus with a print service system on a network as a printer to be used by the user by transmitting, to the print service system, a registration request including user information of the user and information about the image forming apparatus in the case where the user authentication has been successfully performed. The print unit receives, from the print service system, a print instruction to print an electronic document and executes printing in response to the print instruction.
