To provide a printing system capable of preventing an unsuitable printer from being selected and also preventing an unsuitable printing from being performed by the unsuitable printer, and to provide a printing method therefor.

Printers 3 and 5 and an information processor 2 are connected to a communication line network 4, and the printers 3 and 5 are configured to store printer setting information including network address information and model information, and to write and read it in an IC card 9 for writing the stored printer setting information in the IC card 9 by communicatively connecting to the IC card 9. The information processor 2 is configured to store the printer setting information, and to write and read it in the IC card 9, and to determine whether or not the printer model information is matched with the models of the printers 3 and 5, and to set the printers 3 and 5 of the stored network address information as print output destinations when they are matched, and to set the printer driver corresponding to the printer model information.
