A printing management system includes a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a determination unit. The first acquisition unit acquires one or more pieces of image quality information. Each of the one or more pieces of image quality information is information on an image quality required for a printing result obtained by processing a piece of print information. The second acquisition unit acquires a printing characteristic of a printer. The determination unit determines a printing order of multiple pieces of print information in the printer, by using multiple pieces of image quality information, each of which is acquired for one of the multiple pieces of print information by the first acquisition unit, and by using the printing characteristic acquired by the second acquisition unit.

A print control apparatus includes a completion condition obtaining unit and a management unit. The completion condition obtaining unit obtains, when executing a print job for printing one or more pages satisfying a predetermined condition, a completion condition of the print job. The management unit manages the print job as uncompleted until the obtained completion condition is satisfied even when a recording material on which the one or more pages are printed is ejected.

An image processing device includes a memory and a generating and outputting unit. The memory stores a template defining settings of printing to be performed by an image forming unit. If an instructing operation of instructing to perform test printing with the template is performed on a screen displaying the template, the generating and outputting unit generates and outputs instruction data for instructing the image forming unit to perform the test printing reflecting the settings of the template.

An image processing apparatus includes plural page description language processing units and a job management unit. Each of the page description language processing units corresponds to one of different page description languages. The job management unit performs management to select one of the page description language processing units, the selected page description language processing unit serving as a currently processing page description language processing unit, and to cause only the currently processing page description language processing unit to process a print job. Each of the page description language processing units includes a raster image creating unit and a raster image transferring unit. The job management unit includes a first queue, a second queue, a reception-time adding unit, an image-creation-time adding unit, a first instruction unit, a second instruction unit, a third instruction unit, a controller, and a job-being-processed list memory.
