Information processing system, method of processing information, program, and recording medium

An information processing apparatus including at least one computer, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first receiving unit that receives a print request;
• a first specifying unit that specifies user identification information stored in a first memory unit in association with first identification information related to a transmission source of the print request;
• an acquiring unit that acquires second identification information from the print request when the user identification information is not specified by the first specifying unit;
• a second memory unit that stores data related to the print request in association with the user identification specified by the first specifying unit or the second identification acquired by the acquiring unit;
• a second receiving unit that receives the user identification or the second identification information from an apparatus connected with the information processing apparatus through a network;
• and
• a sending unit that sends the user identification received by the second receiving unit or the date stored in the second memory unit to the apparatus.

A method of processing information in an information processing system including at least one computer, the method of processing the information comprising:

• receiving, by a first receiving unit, a print request;
• specifying, by a first specifying unit, user identification information stored in a first memory unit in association with first identification information related to a transmission source of the print request;
• acquiring, by an acquiring unit, second identification information from the print request when the user identification information is not specified by the first specifying unit;
• storing, by a second memory unit, data related to the print request in association with the user identification specified by the first specifying unit or the second identification acquired by the acquiring unit;
• receiving, by a second receiving unit, the user identification or the second identification information from an apparatus connected with the information processing system through a network;
• and
• sending, by a sending unit, the user identification received by the second receiving unit or the date stored in the second memory unit to the apparatus.
