## Abstract

An image forming apparatus executes instructions to transmit, to a first information processing apparatus, information corresponding to a screen regarding registering a plurality of print setting values and an identifier corresponding to the plurality of print setting values, wherein the screen is a setting screen regarding an Internet Printing Protocol, store the plurality of print setting values and the identifier received from the first information processing apparatus in the one or more memories, and transmit the stored plurality of print setting values and the stored identifier to a second information processing apparatus.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-15. (canceled)

### Claim 16

An image forming apparatus comprising:
one or more memories; and
a controller containing instructions and configured to execute the instructions to:
transmit, to a first information processing apparatus, information corresponding to a screen regarding registering a plurality of print setting values and an identifier corresponding to the plurality of print setting values, wherein the screen is a setting screen regarding an Internet Printing Protocol;
store the plurality of print setting values and the identifier received from the first information processing apparatus in the one or more memories; and
transmit the stored plurality of print setting values and the stored identifier to a second information processing apparatus.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The image forming apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the information is information for displaying a web page corresponding the screen.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The image forming apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the stored plurality of print setting values and the stored identifier are transmitted complying with the Internet Printing Protocol.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The image forming apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the controller is further configured to:
receive a predetermined request from the second information processing apparatus, wherein the information is transmitted as a response to the predetermined request.

### Claim 20 (depends on 16)

The image forming apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the transmitted identifier is displayed by the second information processing apparatus.

### Claim 21

A control method for an image forming apparatus, the control method comprising:
transmitting, to a first information processing apparatus, information corresponding to a screen regarding registering a plurality of print setting values and an identifier corresponding to the plurality of print setting values, wherein the screen is a setting screen regarding an Internet Printing Protocol;
storing the plurality of print setting values and the identifier received from the first information processing apparatus in one or more memories; and
transmitting the stored plurality of print setting values and the stored identifier to a second information processing apparatus.

### Claim 22 (depends on 21)

The control method according to claim 21, wherein the information is information for displaying a web page corresponding the screen.

### Claim 23 (depends on 21)

The control method according to claim 21, wherein the stored plurality of print setting values and the stored identifier are transmitted complying with the Internet Printing Protocol.

### Claim 24 (depends on 21)

The control method according to claim 21, the control method further comprising:
receiving a predetermined request from the second information processing apparatus, wherein the information is transmitted as a response to the predetermined request.

### Claim 25 (depends on 21)

The control method according to claim 21, wherein the transmitted identifier is displayed by the second information processing apparatus.

### Claim 26

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing instructions that cause an image forming apparatus to perform a control method comprising:
transmitting, to a first information processing apparatus, information corresponding to a screen regarding registering a plurality of print setting values and an identifier corresponding to the plurality of print setting values, wherein the screen is a setting screen regarding an Internet Printing Protocol;
storing the plurality of print setting values and the identifier received from the first information processing apparatus in one or more memories; and
transmitting the stored plurality of print setting values and the stored identifier to a second information processing apparatus.
