A printer/storage integrated system, capable of using both printer and storage device from host devices with a single connection setting, is provided. A controller is connected with a first network with which host devices are connected, and a second network with which a printer and a storage device shared by the host devices are connected. The controller includes a communication relay unit which receives a control instruction or data transmitted from a host device over the first network, determines whether the destination of the control instruction or the data is either the printer or the storage device based on information included in the header of a communication protocol of the fourth layer or higher used in the transmission, and transfers the control instruction or the data to the printer or the storage device determined as the destination over the second network.
