A print server comprises: a list request receiving unit configured to receive, from a client terminal, a printer list request containing information indicating a printer capable of printing; an acquisition unit configured to send a request to a printer to acquire a status indicating whether the printer can print, thereby acquiring the status; and a sending unit configured to send, to the client terminal that has sent the printer list request, printer list data described in a format for display on a Web browser of the client terminal using the status of the printer that has been acquired by the acquisition unit, wherein when the acquisition unit cannot acquire the status of the printer, the sending unit sends the printer list data containing a command which allows the Web browser of the client terminal to inquire a status of a printer whose status cannot be acquired.
