Further, the computer device 101 sends and receives monitoring packets 109 to and from the printer device 103 to monitor the status of the printer device 103. Then packets received from the printer device 103 are analyzed to monitor the state of the printer device 103, and the monitoring contents are displayed on a monitor 104.
