Abstract: When virtual printers are collectively registered with a plurality of print services through one operation, a virtual printer may be registered also with print services not utilized. In the present invention, by acquiring information regarding print services, provided by a plurality of print services, and information regarding virtual printers registered with the print services, it is determined, on a basis of the information regarding the virtual printers and a printer ID of the local printer, whether or not the local printer has been registered as a virtual printer with the print services. Information regarding the print service with which the local printer is determined not to have been registered is displayed, and when instructed by a user to register the local printer with the displayed print service as a virtual printer, the local printer is registered as the virtual printer with the instructed print service.
