PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate designation of an outputting destination in data output to an output device connected to a network. SOLUTION: An output control system 10, a client 1 and the output device such as a printer PRT1 are connected to the network. The output control system 10 receives a job from the client 1 and transmits the job to the designated output device. The transmitting destination is designated by performance (an attribute) to be satisfied by the output device. The output control system 10 detects the output device with that attribute from the network and sets the transmitting destination. Each the output device obeys a protocol of 'Jini' (R), and its attribution and operation state are integrally managed by a lookup service 10. The output control system 10 refers thereto and retrieves the output device. Thereby, even if not grasping a network state, data can be outputted to the outputting destination having the desired performance. |
