Abstract
To reduce restrictions on a type and a printer driver for interruption printing per page in a print job.SOLUTION: A printing system in which an information processing apparatus causes an image forming apparatus to print a print job transmitted from an information processing terminal, has: job storage means that converts data of a print object received from the information processing terminal into intermediate data and stores it in first storage means as a print job; print control means that divides the intermediate data stored in the first storage means into one or more page units of division intermediate data and stores the pieces of division intermediate data in second storage means in association with the print job; and receiving means that receives a change in printing order of the print job stored in the second storage means. When the image forming apparatus completes printing of part of the division intermediate data in a first print job, the print control means starts printing a second print job determined according to the printing order.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
