A method, apparatus, and system for outputting a locked print job by a printing device connected to a client terminal over a network. The method includes receiving a request to distribute the locked print job to one or more users. The locked print job is generated in response to the request, and the locked print job and information identifying the one or more users is transmitted to the printing device over the network. The printing device receives the locked print job and the information identifying the one or more users transmitted by the client terminal, and stores the locked print job, the information identifying the one or more users, and authentication information. The authentication information is transmitted to the one or more users. The printing device outputs the locked print job, when the authentication information is entered into the printing device.
