Servers include second storage devices and second controllers. Second controllers include second control devices. First controllers specify printing conditions for print-target image data pieces based on instructions. First controllers start downloading print-target image data pieces from servers in response to specifying printing conditions for print-target image data pieces. First controllers store downloaded print-target image data pieces in first storage devices. First controllers control printing devices to print downloaded print-target image data pieces stored in first storage devices after accepting print-start instructions at accepting devices. Second controllers transmit print-target image data pieces based on instructions accepted at accepting devices.
