Claim 8:
9. A terminal device that performs authentication printing together with a printing server and a printing device that performs printing based on print data received from the printing server, comprising:
a terminal print data transmitter that transmits the print data to the printing server;
a terminal storage unit that stores terminal authentication printing setting information indicating a setting relating to the authentication printing and set in the terminal device;
a request information transmitter that transmits, to the printing server, request information requesting change authentication printing setting information for changing the terminal authentication printing setting information;
an authentication printing setting information receiver that receives the change authentication printing setting information from the printing server after the printing server receives the request information; and
a changer that changes, based on the received change authentication printing setting information, the terminal authentication printing setting information stored in the terminal storage unit when the authentication printing setting information receiver receives the change authentication printing setting information such that an authentication for the terminal device is updated,
wherein in a state in which the terminal device can communicate with the printing server, 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.
