1. A print system comprising:
an image forming device; and a print server that causes the image forming device to print-output a file attached to an email transmitted from a user device, wherein the print server comprises:
a reception unit configured to receive an email, which has been transmitted from the user device and in which an image forming device is designated as a print output destination for the file attached to the email, and store the received email in a first storage unit;a generation unit configured to generate print data corresponding to the file attached to the received email;a transmission unit configured to transmit the generated print data to the image forming device as the print output destination;a determination unit configured to determine whether or not information indicating rejection of reprinting of the attached file is included in the email when print data corresponding to the file attached to the email has been successfully printed in the image forming device; a reply unit configured to transmit a reply mail indicating print completion to the user device when the determination unit determines that information indicating rejection of reprinting of the attached file is not included in the email, and not to transmit the reply mail when the determination unit determines that information indicating rejection of reprinting of the attached file is included in the email; and a management unit configured to manage the email stored in the first storage unit and identification information about the reply mail in association with each other, wherein, upon reception of an email including the identification information about the reply mail transmitted from the user device, the generation unit acquires an email managed in association with the identification information about the reply mail included in the received email from the first storage unit to thereby generate print data corresponding to the file attached to the acquired email.
