(54) Print system, print server, control method thereof, and program


(57) A client terminal (105) transmits a request to a printing apparatus (106) for a registration web page for registering, in a print server (104), a printing apparatus used in a print service provided by the print server. The printing apparatus (106) collects configuration information of the printing apparatus (106) in response to reception of the request, and creates link information which contains the collected configuration information and is used to access the print server (104). The printing apparatus (106) then generates a registration web page containing the created link information, and transmits it to the client terminal (105). The print server (104) receives the configuration information of the printing apparatus (106) transmitted from the client terminal (105) via the registration web page transmitted to the client terminal. The print server (104) creates printing apparatus information which associates the configuration information with user information of the user of the client terminal, and manages it in a storage medium.
