Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Degrees of wear of each of common components in respective printing apparatuses is acquired, the common components being used in a plurality of printing apparatuses. Print processing that the respective printing apparatuses are caused to execute is determined, based on the acquired degree of wear of a component for which a maintenance time is long among the common components, in the respective printing apparatuses. A printing apparatus is caused to execute print processing, based on this determination.
