Path detecting server, client apparatus, path detecting system, path detecting method, and computer program product

摘要

A client transmits a request, which requests a print processing path, to a path detecting server, and in response receives path information indicating a print processing path from the path detecting server. The client transmits the path information and PDL data to an apparatus subsequent to the client on the print processing path indicated in the path information. The path detecting server receives the request from the client and finds a print processing path referring to information of printers and print servers stored in an apparatus information database. A path detecting server transmits to the client path information indicating the print processing path.
