It is possible to print a test page or a set page held originally in a controller regardless of printing limitation, even when a division management function works. A printer controller judges whether or not input identification information added to a printing job agrees with registered division management identification information at a printing request time of the printing job, permits a printer unit to print the printing job at an agreement time, and does not permit the printing at a disagreement time. Moreover, when special division management identification information is detected instead of the input identification information at the printing request time, existing information stored beforehand in the printer controller is printed.
