To achieve a smooth distributed printing process, the printer includes a communication module, a job receiving module and a print executing module. The communication module maintains connections to perform communication using a connection-type protocol. The job receiving module receives print jobs through the connections. The number of the print jobs that can be received in parallel is M. The M is a natural number. The print executing module executes printing processes in parallel for the received print jobs. The number of connections that can be maintained simultaneously by the communication module is set to be less than the M.
