Method to manage network printers and network system using the same

摘要

A management method of network printers and a network system using the same, which are capable of easily allowing a network manager to collect management information by allowing the network printers manufactured by different companies to be compatible with each other. When connections between object identifications of the network printers and object identifications of the other network printers are previously set by a user, the network manager can easily collect the management information of the network printers using the same object identification.
