Abstract

To reduce restrictions on a type and a printer driver in grouping of print jobs.SOLUTION: A printing system 1 in which an information processing apparatus 30 causes an image forming apparatus 20 to print a print job transmitted from an information processing terminal 10, has: intermediate data generation means that converts data to be printed received from the information processing terminal into intermediate data; and print control means that, based on print settings for the intermediate data generated by the intermediate data generation means, allocates the intermediate data to a job group. The print control means causes the image forming apparatus to print the plurality of pieces of intermediate data allocated to the job group in preference to the intermediate data allocated to the other job groups.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
