The object of the present invention is to relieve the load of management of devices connecting with a network. The technique of the present invention registers classification of printers connecting with a network LAN into at least one group, and specifies target printers, which are objects of management, by the unit of registered group. Operation setting data is generated in any of three applications; ‘Input’, ‘Obtain operation setting information from any model printer on the network’, and ‘Utilize default setting data’, and is output to the printers belonging to the specified group. This arrangement enables the operation setting of multiple printers to be carried out collectively, thus effectively relieving the load in management.
A management system that manages working conditions of multiple devices connecting with a network, said management system comprising:
An interface that is used to specify a plurality of target devices, for which working conditions are collectively obtained or set, among multiple devices connecting with a network, said interface comprising:
An interface that is output to multiple devices connecting with a network and is used to set management control information for obtaining or setting a working condition of each device,
A computer program that actualizes working conditions of multiple devices connecting with a network on a computer connecting with the network, said computer program causing the computer to attain the functions of:
A computer program that causes a computer to provide an interface used to specify a plurality of target devices, for which working conditions are collectively obtained or set, among multiple devices connecting with a network, said computer program causing the computer to attain the functions of:
A computer program that causes a computer to provide an interface output to multiple devices connecting with a network and used to set management control information for obtaining or setting a working condition of each device, said computer program causing the computer to attain the function of:
A method of managing working conditions of multiple devices connecting with a network, said method comprising the steps of:
