PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print management device capable of making a user conscious of the printing limit number per month to have cost consciousness.SOLUTION: A print management device 1 manages the print number made by a printing apparatus 2 through each of printing data transmitting units 3. When a user Ua makes a printing request through a printing data transmitting unit 3a and when the print number exceeds a print limit number, the print management device 1 issue a request to another user Ub (printing data transmitting unit 3b) to hand over the printing right to the printing data transmitting unit 3a. Receiving a handover request from the printing data transmitting unit 3a, the print management device 1 makes an inquiry possible number of handover to the printing data transmitting unit 3b operated by another user Ub, and obtains a hand over number of the printing right transmitted from the other printing data transmitting unit 3b. When the number exceeding the printing limit number can be complemented by the obtained handover number, the printing data is transmitted to the printing apparatus 2 from the printing data transmitting unit 3a. |
