Abstract: An image forming apparatus using a print service etc., in which an operation load of a user and a load of a communication band are reduced when an error occurs. The image forming apparatus transmits an event confirmation request to a server and receives an event acknowledgement from the server to confirm whether or not a job fetch event has occurred. When an job fetch event is occurred, the image forming apparatus transmits a job acquisition request to the server to acquire print job data for executing a print job from the server. When a predetermined error occurs, the image forming apparatus stops event confirmation request processing even if the event is occurred in order to stop transmission of print job data by the server.
