The print schedules of a plurality of printers are managed. Status data of the plurality of printers are monitored. When any failure has occurred in a printer that serves as an output destination of print data as a result of monitoring, an alternative printer that executes alternative print processing of the print data is selected with reference to the managed print schedules. It is determined based on printer information of the selected alternative printer and the print schedule of the print data in the printer that has caused the failure whether or not the alternative print processing by the selected alternative printer is to be executed. The alternative print processing is executed based on the determination result. |
