Abstract
An information processing apparatus (printing server) of one aspect of the present invention generates print data from a print target file attached to the electronic mail received from a mobile terminal via a network, and causes a printer designated in the electronic mail to execute printing based on the print data. In a case where a printer notifies a printing server of the occurrence of an error during the execution of printing based on print data, the printing server instructs the printer to automatically skip an error which has occurred, if it is designated in received electronic mail that the error should be automatically skipped.
