The object of the present invention is to facilitate making decisions on printability in a printer. In a print system, a print server 100, a printer 200, and clients PC1 through PC4 are connected via a network. The print server 100 collects attribute information that is attached to every page of original print data from a client to generate inclusive attribute information, and transmits the inclusive attribute information to the printer 200. The inclusive attribute information is an aggregation of print conditions for respective pages, such as the paper and the resolution for printing. The printer 200 makes a decision on printability of a print job based on the inclusive attribute information and responds a result of the decision to the print server 100. In this way, the decision on printability can be made easily without actually executing the print job, only by transmitting the inclusive attribute information of a relatively small size.
