PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a server and a network printing service system, that can positively receive printing service order by preventing concentrated accesses to the server. SOLUTION: The network printing service system, located at a laboratory with five printers has first server 2, that receives information of printing orders from customers and a second server 3 that offers the information of the printing service to the customers. When the print order data, based upon the information obtained from the second server is sent to the first server by a terminal at the customer site and if the printing orders by the customers are concentrated at cretin times of the day, it is highly unlikely that a communication line becomes busy, since the second server offers only the information of the printing service. Since the first servers are located only at each laboratory and the print orders are distributed among those servers, it is also unlikely that the communication line goes into a busy state. |
