Claim 10:
11. A printing server that performs authentication printing together with a terminal device and a printing device, comprising:
a server print data transmitter that transmits, to the printing device, print data received from the terminal device;
a server storage unit that stores change authentication printing setting information for changing terminal authentication printing setting information indicating a setting relating to the authentication printing and set in the terminal device;
a request information receiver that receives, from the terminal device, request information requesting the change authentication printing setting information; and
an authentication printing setting information transmitter that transmits the change authentication printing setting information stored in the server storage unit to the terminal device storing the terminal authentication printing setting information when the request information receiver receives the request information so that the terminal device can change the terminal authentication printing setting information based on the change authentication printing setting information such that an authentication for the terminal device is updated,
wherein when the terminal device does not receive the change authentication printing setting information from the printing server after transmitting the request information, the terminal device makes the terminal authentication printing setting information invalid.
