1. An information processing system comprising:
an image processing apparatus;
a first information processing apparatus; and
a second information processing apparatus configured to manage a chat service, the second information processing apparatus transmitting print data based on a message posted in the chat service to the image processing apparatus registered in the first information processing apparatus upon execution of a predetermined application,
wherein the first information processing apparatus comprises:
a first controller,
wherein the first controller receives an instruction for registering the image processing apparatus in the first information processing apparatus,
wherein the first controller receives, based on reception of the instruction, first authentication information input by a user,
wherein the first controller performs authentication based on the first authentication information received by the first controller, and
wherein, based on the authentication by the first controller, the first controller performs registration of the image processing apparatus to which the print data is to be transmitted by the execution of the predetermined application; and
a first network interface,
wherein the first network interface transmits second authentication information to the image processing apparatus, the transmission of the second authentication information being triggered by the registration of the image processing apparatus by the first controller,
wherein the image processing apparatus comprises:
a second network interface,
wherein the second network interface receives the second authentication information from the first information processing apparatus, and
wherein the second network interface transmits to the first information processing apparatus an installation request of the predetermined application for printing the print data posted in the chat service and the second authentication information without receiving, after the registration of the image processing apparatus by the first controller, an instruction for installing the predetermined application in the second information processing apparatus, the transmission of the installation request and the second authentication information being triggered by the reception of the second authentication information from the first information processing apparatus, and
wherein the first network interface receives the installation request and the second authentication information from the image processing apparatus, and
wherein the first controller performs authentication for installing the predetermined application in the second information processing apparatus based on the second authentication information received by the first network interface and then the first controller causes the second information processing apparatus to install the predetermined application.
