A method and apparatus to manage device jobs using hosts. The method includes checking job instruction items issued to devices by the hosts, detecting job priority information regarding hosts instructed for a particular device among the devices to perform a job from the job instruction items, and transmitting job data for device jobs to the particular device according to the job priority information. Since the hosts rather than the devices manage jobs of the devices whose operations are controlled through a network, a network card in each device can perform device jobs without a central processing unit (CPU).
