A print server, or printer server, is a device that connects printers to client computers over a network. It accepts print jobs from the computers and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers, queuing the jobs locally to accommodate the fact that work may arrive more quickly than the printer can actually handle. Ancillary functions include the ability to inspect the queue of jobs to be processed, the ability to reorder or delete waiting print jobs, or the ability to do various kinds of accounting (such as counting pages, which may involve reading data generated by the printer(s)). Print servers may be used to enforce administration policies, such as color printing quotas, user/department authentication, or watermarking printed documents.

Notification system, notification method, and notification server
This system provides a notification system that allows the user of a terminal device to collectively access print log information from multiple image forming machines that perform printing on print data sent from a terminal device to a print server. [Solution] In a notification system 100 according to one aspect of the present invention, the print server 2 outputs log information including the print status of print data to the log collection server 4, and the log collection server 4 stores the output log information. The notification server 5 acquires a plurality of stored log information based on predetermined conditions, converts the acquired log information into notification information, and transmits the converted notification information to the terminal device 1. The terminal device 1 notifies the notification information.
